[Verse 1]
There I was, the girl that you love to hate, but hate to love
Alone, I guess, you might say yes I was
And there you were giving me love enough for any girl
To understand that this girl couldn't see

[Chorus]
I was still the same old me caught in my fantasy
Same old fool with the same old dream
Still the same old me, show me how life can be
Now the same old fool has got a brand new dream

[Verse 2]
One more chance is all that I'll ever need
Because you gave to me a shred of hope more than most receive
And here I am now that I finally, finally, finally found what real love means
This brand new dream won't end

[Chorus]
I was still the same old me caught in my fantasy
Same old fool with the same old dream
Still the same old me showed me how life can be
Now the same old fool has got a brand new dream

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
I was still the same old me caught in my fantasy
Same old fool with the same old dream
Still the same old me showed me how life can be
Now the same old fool has got a brand new dream

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
