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 And like the other little children you gotta 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 And when you go out to play this evening play with fire flies till they're gone 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
