Bettie Serveert – Wide Eyed Fools lyrics

I'm really glad to see you.
Did I ever cross your mind?
And I apologize, oh why?
It's been a long, long time.
On an odd scale of 1 to 5,
Have we been stirred alive?
I'm a wide eyed girl & I'm a lot like you.
In this pre-fab world we don't know what to do.
'Cause we don't have much to show for life,
Not a perfect home, not a perfect wife.
But the wide eyed fools know it isn't easy,
'Cause we've done it all before.
It's gonna take an awful lot of courage and some more.
But we're not so tough and no, we're not too proud.
Freaks like us know the in's and out's.
The opinion is: we're too soft & seedy
With only half a clue.

So I'm disorganized.
Oh, why should I except these rules?
On an odd scale of 1 to 5,
Have we been borderlined?
I'm a wide eyed girl & I'm a lot like you.
In this pre-fab world we don't know what to do.
'Cause we don't have much to show for life,
Not a perfect home, not a perfect wife.
But the wide eyed fools know it isn't easy,
'Cause we've done it all before.
It's gonna take an awful lot of courage and some more.
But we're not so tough and no, we're not too proud.
Freaks like us know the in's and out's.
'Cause we're wide eyed fools and you're wide eyed, too.
On an odd scale of 1 to 5, are we stirred alive?
