I never believed that there was a rainbow
With a pot of gold at the end
I'm much too smart for fairy tales like that
Yet, here I am again

I thought this time
This time, we're gonna make it
Why I thought so, I really don't know
Maybe something in his eyes just told me so
Something in his eyes

Tell me lies, and I'll come runnin'
I must have lost my mind
I could close my eyes
And tell you just exactly what's comin'
Life's gonna turn just a little unkind

Seems like everyone's sailing way out on the sea
And I'm stuck here on the shore
Sun's always shining, but it's never for me
Why should I try anymore?

Tell me lies, tell me lies
I'll just keep right on going
This time I've got to believe in the dream
This time I've got to believe in his dream
