(words and music by Sal Joseph)
Well it started out just like a dream
And like a dream I knew that what we had
Would have to end
‘Cos I was looking for a life time lover
And you were looking for a friend
Someone to be there after all your night time lover’s have gone
The way they came
Someone who knew the way
To help you play your day time game
It’s not the same
Well I started out pretending that I’d come to mean enough to you
To make you want to change
Then I came to realize that there was just too much of you
You’d have to rearrange
And I couldn’t bear to wait around for all your night time lovers to go
The way they came
And it came to hurt too much for me
To have to play your day time game
No-one’s to blame
(Repeat Verse 1)
