Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be, oh
Baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Ooh, you take the clothes off my back
And I let you
You steal the food right out my mouth
And I watch you eat it
I still don't know why
Why I love it so much ooh, yeah

You curse my name (my name)
In spite to put me to shame
(I've been losing sleep)
Have my laundry in the streets
Dirty or clean, give it up for fame
And I still don't know why,
(Baby I've been, I've been praying hard)
Why I love it so much

Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Baby, it's amazing I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day you're screaming you love me loud
The next day you're so cold
One day you're here, one day you're there
One day you care, you're so unfair
Sipping from your cup till it runneth over
Holy grail, holy grail ooh! Holy grail

And we all just entertainers
And we're stupid, and contagious,'cause
We're all just (said no more counting dollars)
Entertainers (said no more counting dollars)
And we're stupid (said no more counting dollars)
Oh! I've been praying
Entertainers (said no more counting dollars)
And we're stupid (said no more counting dollars)
And contagious (said no more counting dollars)

I've been praying
Said no more counting dollars
Said no more counting dollars
I'll be praying, we'll be counting stars
