"Act Like You Meant It" lyrics

I had a dream that you had blood on your teeth
And you were smiling at me and standing on a playground
"What a perfect metaphor," I thought to myself
If you asked me to explain it, I'm not sure that I could
I think it might the best part
Of the inexplicable nature of time and sex and moving on
You laughed at me and said, "Baby, that's my line"
And "You're on the wrong stage and completely missed the cue"

Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Act like you meant it, act like you been here before now
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, I can take it, act like you been here before
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
You can watch me, baby, just don't touch (Uh-uh, oh, oh)
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
You can watch me, baby, just don't touch

And in that dream, you were taller than me
And it was raining cats and dogs, but they all got along just fine
"What a perfect metaphor," I thought to myself
You played a song on the radio and it was the best goddamn thing I've ever heard
And I swore I'd remember it
But it slips through my fingers like loose change down the sofa
And I'd tear down the walls just to find it
But like you and the cats and the dogs on the playground, it's gone

Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Act like you meant it, act like you been here before now
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, I can take it, act like you been here before
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
You can watch me, baby, just don't touch (Uh-uh, oh, oh)
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
You can watch me, baby, just don't touch
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Act like you meant it, act like you been here before now
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, I can take it, act like you been here before
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Act like you meant it, act like you been here before now
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
You can watch me, baby, just don't touch
