When I woke up this afternoon
I knew I felt uneasy.
But no matter what I´d do
nothing seemed to please me.
I couldn´t get out of my head
that little fight we had last night.
Though I would much rather be dead
than admit to myself
that you were right.
Oh, oh, oh, oh

(chorus)
Don´t be silly,
turn on Billie.
She´s singing us to sleep
so we can dream our lives away.
And if we wake up in full makeup,
we´ll paint the town blue
´cause baby, red is so passe.

Now don´t look at me that way.
You know I just can´t take it.
And no matter what they say
I know that we will make it.
Cause when we are good, we´re grand
but when we´re bad we are very bad.
But I stick around ´cause the love
that you´re giving me is the best
I´ve ever had.
Oh, oh, oh, oh

(chorus)
Don´t be silly,
turn on Billie.
She´s singing us to sleep
so we can dream our lives away.
And if we wake up in full makeup,
we´ll paint the town blue
´cause baby, red is so passe.

And it´s funny to me,
the way that things have worked out.
There´s no doubt (in my mind)
that you can´t recall
what this all was about.
So let´s give it up.

Love me sweetly and completely
Come and sit beside me
´cause you know I need you near.
When you´re wheelin´
with that feelin´
we´ll paint the town pink
´cause baby, red is so last year.

(chorus)
Don´t be silly,
turn on Billie.
She´s singing us to sleep
so we can dream our lives away.
And if we wake up in full makeup,
we´ll paint the town blue
´cause baby, red is so passe.
