Lyrics
DREAMS COME TRUE
Lani Ford
©? 2005
VERSE 1:
Kelly ended up with the guy Kate was s'posed to marry
They have a little black dog and a brand new baby
Kate lives uptown in her high-rise apartment
She does alright as a mid-priced dominatrix
CHORUS:
And dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
What's the matter with you
If your dreams don't come true
VERSE 2:
Kate takes a break on the back of a rich businessman
While Kelly makes coffee for her man downtown
The baby starts screamin' and Kelly fades away
She finds herself dreamin' 'bout where she could have been today
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Kelly cries breast-feeding, her man is still at work
Kate does another line so she can spank some jerk
Kelly got the prize and wonders what could have been
While Kate closes her eyes to her degeneration
CHORUS
VERSE 4:
Her husband has a boyfriend who he keeps secret
A twenty-year-old kid who lives in Hell's Kitchen
Kate had called him queer, when he'd called her sleazy
So he married Kelly cuz he thought it'd be easy
And it goes round
Round and Round
Like a Merry-go-round
It goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and
Round
BRIDGE:
Well as is always the way
Kelly got divorced and Kate overdosed
And the man got away
And another little girl is born
To lose her way
Cuz dreams don't come true
No dreams don't' come true
Dreams don't come true
No matter what you do
You know dreams can't come true
CHORUS
