Fairweather Friends lyrics

Say you see through the folly

But you do it for the fame

And I'm fighting the jetstream

Drinking cheap wine on airplanes

You're in L.A. not Chicago

Key under mat

I walk the dog, order in

Home alone

Found your letter on a full-moon Sunday night

Some other girl in your spell, casting plans for her life

Pour the vodka and it dulls sharp lies

Breathe the words of diamonds on rings

And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't really mean it

Magical thinking gets us by

Sing for the aftershow

Those candy-colored lips

Your age is showing and you've gotta harder for it

It's always easier with freshmen

I'm not as clever, it should bring you to life

And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't really mean it

Magical thinking gets us by

My fairweather friend

Fairweather friend

Live for the folly, but you did it for the fame

Now you're fragile as porcelain

Drinking cheap wine on airplanes

Did I ever leave Chicago?

I got your message

Glad you're doing well

And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If we didn't really mean it

Magical thinking gets us by

Gets us by

Gets us by

Say you see through the folly

But you did it for the fame

Say you see through the folly

But you did it for the fame

Say you see through the folly

But you did it for the fame

Say you see through the folly

But you did it for the fame

My fairweather friend
