[Verse 1]
Took a walk to a caution scene
Guess I crossed the line somehow
And if I lost some of your hope
I'm sorry, for the folly was all mine
And I don't ever really understand
All the things that we say
But I try to anyway, anyhow
[Pre-Chorus]
For what's in a day of a dandy life?
For what's in a day of this dandy life?
Everything, everything, everything
[Chorus]
(Hoo-hoo) Hangin' on every word
(Hoo-hoo) My social butterfly
(Hoo-hoo) Everyone wants to be loved
(Hoo-hoo) Loved in their own way
[Verse 2]
I can say I spent the night
On my telephone inside
When you said that every single
One of us can find a happy face
So why don't you go try
To try anyway?
And I suppose I was born yesterday
'Cause I never thought of things
Quite in that way at all, and in that way
[Pre-Chorus]
For what's in a day of a dandy life?
For what's in a day of this dandy life?
Everything, everything, everything
[Chorus]
(Hoo-hoo) Hangin' on every word
(Hoo-hoo) My social butterfly
(Hoo-hoo) Everyone wants to be loved
(Hoo-hoo) Loved in their own way
[Interlude]
[Outro]
(Hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo) Hangin' on every word
(Hoo-hoo) My social butterfly
(Hoo-hoo) Everyone wants to be loved
(Hoo-hoo) Loved in their own way
(Hoo-hoo) Everyone wants to be loved
(Hoo-hoo) Loved in their own way
(Hoo-hoo) Hangin' on every word

Written by Ed Roland:
Ross wrote that one. He actually had written that one and another one called “Tell.” He went back and forth between the two for a while there. Eventually he decided to go with “Dandy Life.” I think he was working through to that comfort level, y'know. It’s hard when you’re...
