Turn On Billie lyrics

When I woke up this afternoon

I knew I felt uneasy.

But no matter what I'd do

nothing seemed to please me.

I couldn't get out of my head

that little fight we had last night.

Though I would much rather be dead

than admit to myself

that you were right.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[chorus]

Don't be silly,

turn on Billie.

She's singing us to sleep

so we can dream our lives away.

And if we wake up in full makeup,

we'll paint the town blue

'cause baby, red is so passe.

Now don't look at me that way.

You know I just can't take it.

And no matter what they say

I know that we will make it.

Cause when we are good, we're grand

but when we're bad we are very bad.

But I stick around 'cause the love

that you're giving me is the best

I've ever had.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[repeat chorus]

And it's funny to me,

the way that things have worked out.

There's no doubt (in my mind)

that you can't recall

what this all was about.

So let's give it up.

Love me sweetly and completely

Come and sit beside me

'cause you know I need you near.

When you're wheelin'

with that feelin'

we'll paint the town pink

'cause baby, red is so last year.

[repeat chorus]
