[Verse 1]
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 passé

[Verse 2]
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 (So 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 passé

[Bridge]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 1]
Love me sweetly and completely
Come and sit beside me
Cause you know I need you near
When you're reeling with that feeling
We'll paint the town pink
Cause, baby, red is so last year
[Chorus 2]
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 passé
