Kirsty Maccoll - Tread Lightly lyrics

(Kirsty MacColl/Pete Glenister) Another time, another day Another baby on the way A dreamboy for your nightmare nights Who never shouts and never fights Happy with your 2.2 What else is there for you to do But turn and wet the baby's head And pray he will be happier than you or me? That's how it's meant to be It's called a lifetime At first you never notice Then the years go flying by and I say Tread lightly in your dreams They might come true for you tomorrow Say sorry to the boys and girls You're sorry for this bloody world Sorry for the sick and old And sorry for the lies you told Sorry for the things I did The thighs we should have left unsaid And walked away instead of Rubbing salt on all those open sores and wounds We should have left to heal I never knew just what to feel or to expect I tried to stretch my mind but I'd just Get my body wrecked and now I Tread lightly in my dreams They might come true tomorrow And I don't sleep at night in case I don't wake up tomorrow I curse the day I met you But I won't forget you Not in my lifetime Another time, another day You'd never give your heart away You'd never think and never cry You'd look the devil in the eye And tell him to be gone, bye bye He'll never get you in this lifetime He'd love to touch you but his hands are tied So just tread lightly in your dreams They might come true for you tomorrow Tread lightly in your dreams They might come true for you tomorrow They might come true for you tomorrow They might come true tomorrow
