She said : you know Johnny, it's been such a long time Since I saw that pretty smile of yours meet mine And I'd help you make it through if only I knew What in the world I could do for you The last thing I want is to have my problems on your mind Let's talk about the weather, how's your newest lover Hope it treats you sweet and kind I can take care of me, can't you see I've got it all figured out And it seems to me our lives are like the ice inside this now paper cup We both start out with a job o do, but age And fade away till we get swallowed up Baby, I don't want to bring you down by singing such a sad line But I do blieve me creeds are true So what's the use of wasting time The hell with philosophy, 'cause right it's just you and me And everything's fine See our lives are like the ice inside this now paper cup We both start out with a job o do, but age And fade away till we get swallowed up You see our lives are like the ice inside this now paper cup We both start out with a job o do, but age And fade away like the ice me and you Just melts and fades away till we get swallowed up
