Everybody I know works from eight to five
Well, everybody but me
I'd feel confined and only half alive
I just wouldn't feel freeWherever I go, somebody wears a frown
They all say "What a crime
He could be something if he'd settle down
But he's just wasting his time"Everybody says... "There goes a dreamer
He's lost his way"
But I'm not sorry
I'll be a dreamer 'til my dyin' dayThere goes a dreamer (he's a hopeless case)
He's lost his way (gotten off the track)
But I'm not sorry (doesn't bother me)
I'll be a dreamer..(dreamer 'til my dyin' day)I see no reason I should even play
Unless I'm playing to win
Some people only take it half the way
But that's just where I beginI'm always hearing that I aim too high
And that it's really a sin
But there's no point in chasing what you want
Unless you're playin' to winSo I let 'em say ... There goes a dreamer
He's lost his way
But I'm not sorry
I'll be a dreamer 'til my dyin' dayThere goes a dreamer (He's a hopeless case)
He's lost his way (Gotten off the track)
But I'm not sorry (Doesn't bother me)
I'll be a dreamer.. (Dreamer 'til my dyin' day)There may be a failure
There may be pain
But I'll keep on tryin'
Again and againSo I let 'em say ... There goes a dreamer
He's lost his way
But I'm not sorry
I'll be a dreamer 'til my dyin' dayThere goes a dreamer (He's a hopeless case)
He's lost his way (Gotten off the track)
But I'm not sorry (Doesn't bother me)
I'll be a dreamer.. (Dreamer 'til my dyin' day)
