[Chorus]
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
I wanna live with you through everything
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
I wanna live in a kaleidoscope
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
Wanna be the one to spin the wheel

[Verse 1]
I know that we can only give
When we have hope
But I wanna live
Without any ghosts
Can't protect me from nothing
Can't save me from the truth
You can't even save me from
You

[Chorus]
So don't sell me no pipe dreams
I wanna feel the good and bad in everything
Even when it hurts, even when it hurts

[Verse 2]
I know that we can only give
When we got a little hope
But I don't like the burden
Of living with these ghosts
Yes, I will hold my head high
When I walk in your parade
But I will always check my gait
I will always watch my gait

[Bridge]
Pipe dreams
Pipe dreams
Pipe dreams
Pipe dreams
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
