she's got a heart, they say
you'll find it on her sleeve
she's prone to make believe
and dreaming

if you ask, some say
her life's a work of fiction
a meaningless depiction
of sentimental cliches

hey, young lover
you'd better slow down
abandon your chase
all you've got is today

trapped in pictures, they say
snapshots from her magazines
waltzing down european streets
she isn't really here

imagination's a haven, she says
and he, of course, will be to me
exactly as I've always dreamed
he's not here yet

a paperback love affair
clearly, it's going nowhere
cause she's waiting on page 214
no different than the opening scene
where she's alone
and she doesn't know how to cope

hey, young lover
you'd better slow down
abandon your chase
all you've got is today
