lyrics
I never believed in some charming prince or a man of my dreams.
And since I never believed that any of that crap was true,
Imagine my surprise when I met you.
And it’s words like rapture and joy.
And boy, I couldn’t believe it!
Some thoughtless remark and I’d suddenly pause and you’d be nothing special
Because I always believed that no one could stay so good.
Imagine my surprise when you could!
Falling deeper and then, again, I couldn’t believe it!
My well thought out, carefully chosen defenses,
My ironclad, hard-boiled insoluble walls,
Had layer by layer by layer been melted a-way!
I still can’t believe that you’re really gone, that the man of my dreams is gone.
I still can’t believe that it never occurred to me
I might not be the dream for you.
Imagine my surprise.
