Somebody told her not to so she didn't Now she never will The world's been spinnin' all her life And she feels she's been standin' still Just enough to get you by Is not enough for twenty-five Somebody told her not to so she didn't Now she never can I always call her baby But she answers by her first and last Cause there's a paycheck on the way It should be here any day And it'll make everything okay Up here in la la La la La la La la land She counts down on one hand The hours left until tomorrow comes And as she tries to fall asleep She lays there wonderin' where dreams come from She says she hasn't had one in a while I said close your eyes and smile Cause it'll all be worth our while When we go to la la La la La la La la land All filled up and overflowing No one stops so you keep pourin' out Somebody told her not to so she didn't Now she never will Somebody told her not to so she didn't Now she never will La la la la la La la la la la
