Lately when I'm in my room all by myself
 In the solitary gloom I call to myself

 Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
 Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
 Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
 Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you

 Better forget him, him with his nose in the air
 He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care

 Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother
 Or are you not seein' things too clear
 Are you too much in love to hear
 Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other

 Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes [Are you talking to me?]
 Love never made a fool of you [Not until now]
 You used to be too wise [Yes, I was once]

 Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother
 Or am I not seein' things too clear
 Are you just too far gone to hear
 Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other
