Day After Day

She likes to put on pretty things and watch herself go walking by

If she turns her head just so much down her head and glances low

She'll see another woman

But she don't like early in the morning, best to let her wake herself

If you can't respect her warning

You might wind up waking someone else

Day after day

And nothing ever seems to stay the same

Every time she's up she's almost down, again

Day after day after day

There's nothing she can do to turn me away

Just within the limits of a dream

She's smoking tea with lazy queens

Wrapped in scarf's and draped in beads

She laughs out loud and sure enough I can hear another woman

Wound up tight in the middle of the night

Company is hard to find

Long before the sky every gets light

She holds her head and slowly starts to cry

Day after day

And nothing ever seems to stay the same

Every time she's up she's almost down, again

Day after day after day

There's nothing she can do to turn me away
