It was a pretty picture

It almost made me cry

He's got big imagination

It's better than real life



He can be a macho man

And now he's a game show host well

One minute hilarious comedian

Now he's an undercover cop say



Oh let the poor boy dream

Oh livin' make me believe



So how can we be strangers

He's got no personality

It's just a clever imitation

Of the people on TV



A line for every situation

He's learnin' trivia and tricks

Havin' sex and eatin' cereal

Wearin' jeans and smokin' cigarettes now



Oh let the poor boy dream

Oh livin' make me believe

Oh let the poor boy dream

Oh livin' make me believe



I can be you and you can be me

Everyone's happy and everyone's free

Here in my mundo where nothing is wrong

I'm a lady and you are a man



Oh let the poor boy dream

Oh livin' make me believe

Oh let the poor boy dream

Oh livin' make me believe
