[Verse 1]
I thought there'd be a man in a suit and a ten-gallon hat
He'd give me a deal and a red Cadillac
I'd make hit records and get hooked on drugs
But I wound up pregnant and strung out on love

[Chorus]
Dreams don't come true
They'll make a mess out of you
They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind
They'll bleed your heart black and blue
Don't let anyone tell you they do
Dreams don't come true

[Verse 2]
I thought I'd change the world with three chords and the truth
I'd be like Elvis but with lipstick and boobs
My bra would be floatin' in a guitar-shaped pool
And I'd flip the bird to them whores in high school

[Chorus]
Dreams don't come true
They'll make a mess out of you
They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind
They'll bleed your heart black and blue
Don't let anyone tell you they do
Dreams don't come true
[Bridge]
I hate to put a damper on the fairy tale you pictured
I shoulda known all along that glass slippers give you blisters

[Chorus]
Dreams don't come true
They'll make a mess out of you
They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind
They'll bleed your heart black and blue (Black and blue)
Don't let anyone tell you they do
Dreams don't come true
