It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to control you Like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies till they're gone
And then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire till the dawn It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
