Lynn Anderson - Paper Mansions Lyrics

Don't build for me no paper mansions
That I can never call my own
For love can't live in paper mansions
That only stand until you've gone

You paint the nicest futures
Of anyone I know
You always leave me holding
On to pretty words that glow

You've built a thousand mansions
Out of dreams that seem so strong
But they're always made of paper, not of stone

Don't build for me

You've always been a dreamer, dear
And I'm a dreamer too
But I guess I've had too many
Of the kind that don't come true

So don't build me no mansions
With paper walls so thin
That only stand until you leave again
Don't build for me
