Fairweather Friends

[Verse 1]
Say you see through the folly but, you do it for the fame
And, I'm fighting the jet stream, drinking cheap wine on airplanes
You're in L.A. not Chicago
Key under mat, I walk the dog order in home alone

[Verse 2]
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 eyes
Read the words of diamonds on rings

[Chorus]
And, you didn't mean to do it
So, I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Then, magical thinking gets us by

[Verse 3]
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, but she'll bring you to life

[Chorus]
And, you didn't mean to do it
So, I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Then, magical thinking gets us by

[Bridge]
My fairweather friend
Fairweather friend

[Verse 3]
Live for the folly, but you did it for the fame
Now, you're fragile as porcelain, drinking cheap wine on airplanes
And did I ever leave Chicago?
I got your message, glad you're doing well

[Chorus]
And, you didn't mean to do it
So, I don't have to believe it
If we didn't really mean it
Then, magical thinking gets us by
Gets us by, gets us by

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Outro]
My fairweather friend
