Silly Me (feat. Rianne Downey & Yvonne Shelton)
Thought love meant forever, silly me
Sunny climbs and stormy weather, silly me
Thought love was built on trust
Thought love was for the just
I thought what we discussed but silly me
The first time we held hands
The first time that we kissed
The first hand 'round the waist
The first slap 'round the wrist
But God help the man
Or woman who insists
That love is a thing you can bank on
Silly me, silly you
From silly here, to Timbuktu
Arrives like hammer, turns like screw
Neither faithful or true
Silly me
Silly you
Thought love was guaranteed, silly me
Dance on date agree, silly me
Thought love was built on faith
Now I know love's great mistake
Thought it gave when it would take, silly me
The first trip to the seaside
A walk down the beach
The kiss that you blew my way
Just out of reach
Could anyone relisten?
From this you could teach
Love ain't a thing you could bank on
Silly me, silly you
From silly here, to Timbuktu
Hits like hammer, turns like screw
Neither faithful or true
Silly me
Silly you
Joans and Jims
And find them a gem
Romeo and Juliet
Deji and Ken
The fiercest of women
The strongest of men
Silly me, silly us, silly them
Silly me, silly you
From silly here, to Timbuktu
Hits like hammer, turns like screw
Neither faithful or true
Silly me
Silly you
Sunny climbs and stormy weather, silly me
Thought love was built on trust
Thought love was for the just
I thought what we discussed but silly me
The first time we held hands
The first time that we kissed
The first hand 'round the waist
The first slap 'round the wrist
But God help the man
Or woman who insists
That love is a thing you can bank on
Silly me, silly you
From silly here, to Timbuktu
Arrives like hammer, turns like screw
Neither faithful or true
Silly me
Silly you
Thought love was guaranteed, silly me
Dance on date agree, silly me
Thought love was built on faith
Now I know love's great mistake
Thought it gave when it would take, silly me
The first trip to the seaside
A walk down the beach
The kiss that you blew my way
Just out of reach
Could anyone relisten?
From this you could teach
Love ain't a thing you could bank on
Silly me, silly you
From silly here, to Timbuktu
Hits like hammer, turns like screw
Neither faithful or true
Silly me
Silly you
Joans and Jims
And find them a gem
Romeo and Juliet
Deji and Ken
The fiercest of women
The strongest of men
Silly me, silly us, silly them
Silly me, silly you
From silly here, to Timbuktu
Hits like hammer, turns like screw
Neither faithful or true
Silly me
Silly you
