Imagine I would be a child In a pink cocoon bedspread Imagine I'd go really wild Paint my nails a lurid red Wishful thinking anyway Reckless drinking everyday I said I would I know I should use common sense And if you flake I might just fake A little common sense for real Putting words around a thought Wish I could trade the traits I've not If life has knocked you off your feet It's time to get down on your knees Wishful thinking anyway Reckless drinking everyday I said I would I know I should use common sense And if you flake I might just fake A little common sense for real
