When i picture myself
The way i'd rather be
How much stronger in a job and wiser than me
Or at least that's what i try to tell myself
But when i'm with you
I believe it's true
And it's been a while
Since i've had a dream
I don't pretend to know what they mean
But lately i've been dreamin' just of you
And if you offer your a**istence
I will put up no resistence
[Chorus]
And we could be allright
If you need a place to stay
We can talk all night
And i believe it when you'd say
We could be just like
Just like startin' new
I've been standing in line
For a piece of happiness
A kind gentle word and a soft caress
But i didn't think i'd earned it for myself
And now you're having me see
That ain't the way it's gotta be
[Chorus]
