Split Enz - Sweet Dreams lyrics

Cunning as a con-man, shrewd as a liar I went weak in the knees, the first time I saw you Deep inside, day to day ritual Oh give it a try Do what you will, look out now! But I've seen it all before It's nothing new to me A living legend, like 15 million other, angels Try as I do, I can never get through I only got as far, as the back seat of my car It's all very well to cry now Yes it's all very well to lie now Now I'm wasting my time, clutching at straws (yeah) You know damn well, what's mine is yours Rich man or poor, duchess or who*e I haven't got time for, either or I can't get over it Thank God the storms pa**ed over I'll settle down I guess Sweet dreams every once in a while Sweet dreams every once in a while Matovani, Martini and money I fell for your etiquette The first time we ever met You really socked it to me With your finger snap rhythym Look out now, break-up You've got it all figured out Ten to one I lose Drop your lovers noose and swing me Cruelly deprived, I don't know how you've survived Romantic theories of the pixies and fairies Looking in retrospect seldom wrong but never correct Emotions are aired like carpets out to dry I can't get over it Thank God the storms pa**ed over I'll settle down I guess Sweet dreams every once in a while Sweet dreams every once in a while Sweet dreams, sweet dreams, sweet dreams every once in a while Well you wouldn't know me from a bar of soap A part of the furniture, an ornament, a rocking chair It's all very well to cry now Sweet dreams every once in a while
