Chorus:) It's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to console you. Like the other little children You're gonna dream a dream or two But be careful what you're dreamin' Soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you. It's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to control you. When you go out to play this evenin' Play with fireflies till they're gone Then you'll rush to meet your lover Play with real fire til the dawn. (Chorus)
