It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know 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'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 I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
You go out to play this evenin' play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover play with real fire till the dawn
It's not supposed to be that way
