La La Land

Somebody told her not to so she didn't
Now she never will
The world's been spinnin' all her life
And she feels she's been standin' still
Just enough to get you by
Is not enough for twenty-five
Somebody told her not to so she didn't
Now she never can
I always call her baby
But she answers by her first and last
Cause there's a paycheck on the way
It should be here any day
And it'll make everything okay
Up here in la la
La la
La la
La la land
She counts down on one hand
The hours left until tomorrow comes
And as she tries to fall asleep
She lays there wonderin' where dreams come from
She says she hasn't had one in a while
I said close your eyes and smile
Cause it'll all be worth our while
When we go to la la
La la
La la
La la land
All filled up and overflowing
No one stops so you keep pourin' out
Somebody told her not to so she didn't
Now she never will
Somebody told her not to so she didn't
Now she never will
La la la la la
La la la la la
