Carolyn Mark - Matinéed lyrics

The man of my dreams just stepped out from the screen And asked if I'd like a drink The man of my dreams just stepped out from the screen And said "My dear, what did you think?" I said I'd seen better, he said he'd done worse And explained they had pretty little time to rehearse Watched the credits roll by with his hand on my thigh And we cheered when it got to his name The man of my dreams is just how he seems on the screen As he is in my dreams The man of my dreams is just how he seems on the screen As he is in my dreams We'd walk hand in hand with bare feet in the sand He always pays, and he's a fan of my band Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now This time it's gonna work out Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now This time it's gonna work out The man of my dreams is not at all how he seems On the screen, he is larger than life The man of my dreams ain't that large in real life I know, I'm good friends with his wife Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now This time it's gonna work out Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now This time it's gonna work out Ignoring the screams of the man of my dreams All tied up in that shopping cart I felt him stiffen as we edged near the cliff And I paused to remove his hood I looked up through the night at the moon shining bright And I say, won't you tell me again? Say you'll love me forever now, true love forever now This time it's gonna work out Say you'll love me forever now, true love forever now This time it's gonna work out
