Ever Since I was a young kid, I wondered how it felt to be in love Now the year's have gone by, I notice, that love is not enough And she dreams of doing something so accidental, That she could pass as the innocent, instead of the mental And she dream, dream, dreams of letting go Instead I hold on to my rope So she said: "Lock up the Rainbow, and make me something beautiful Turn me into shadow, I'll be here, the lover too shallow Lock up the Rainbow, and make me something beautiful Turn me into shadow, I'll be here" Ever since I listened to my cassette tape, I wondered if what they sung was true I was listen to Thriller, wondering when I'd meet the real you Now she dreams of doing something so accidental, That she could pass as the innocent, instead of the mental And she dream, dream, dreams of letting go Instead I hold on to my rope So she says: "Lock up the Rainbow, and make me something beautiful Turn me into shadow, I'll be here, the lover too shallow Lock up the Rainbow, and make me something beautiful Turn me into shadow, I'll be here" Lock up the Rainbow, and make me something beautiful Turn me into shadow, I'll be here the lover too shallow"
