In front of a friday night mirror
Trying to understand the kinda world
Where the beautiful prosper
Slicking up the kinda hair
That the magazine's say's a lost cause
Picking out the kinda girl in your mind
To go walking with you
Yesterday I met a girl
She made marilyn monroe look like. .. Me
All she had to do was walk in the room
And my problems were starting
Then she'd at me and she'd smile
And I feel feel such a pain in my heart
Wanting her to come and whisper to me
"you're the man of my dreams"
Beautiful world, beautiful world
Sending me dreams, touching my hair
Making me cry. .. So I feel alive
Beautiful world, why do I hide?
I dunno why
I should spend so much time feeling so bad
I got everything a sinner could hope to get
This side of eden
Maybe some day I'll wake up
And I'll do what I should
Write a song to make heaven and earth
Go waltzing in time
Repeat chorus
Some of us spend hours In front of a friday night mirror Trying to understand the kinda world Where the beautiful prosper Slicking up the kinda hair That the magazine's say's a lost cause Picking out the kinda girl in your mind To go walking with you Yesterday I met a girl She made marilyn monroe look like. .. Me All she had to do was walk in the room And my problems were starting Then she'd at me and she'd smile And I feel feel such a pain in my heart Wanting her to come and whisper to me "you're the man of my dreams" Beautiful world, beautiful world Sending me dreams, touching my hair Making me cry. .. So I feel alive Beautiful world, why do I hide? I dunno why I should spend so much time feeling so bad I got everything a sinner could hope to get This side of eden Maybe some day I'll wake up And I'll do what I should Write a song to make heaven and earth Go waltzing in time Repeat chorus Explain Request ×
