UP IN A PUFF OF SMOKE
(Ron Roker / Gerry Shury / Phillip Swern)

Polly Brown - 1975



(Going up, going up, going up, up, up)
(Going up, going up, going up, up, up)
(Going up, going up, going up, up, up)
(Going up, going up, u-u-p-p-p)

Like a bubble, headin' for trouble
Wind is blowin' in the wrong direction
I was headed into danger
Too much in love to see

I pledged my trust in him (Trust in him)
Believed in everything (Everything)
But he just had me on a string (On a string)
And then he left me blown away

And I was goin' up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And it ain't no joke the way he broke my heart
Goin' up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And I'm all choked up inside
To see my dreams just turn into ashes
And all my hopes go up in a puff of smoke

(Going up, going up, going up, up, up)
(Going up, going up, u-u-p-p-p)

I aspired, took me higher
Than a rocket on it's way to Heaven
Couldn't see those dangers comin'
'Cause I was flyin' blind

It hurt me deep inside (Deep inside)
And broke my foolish pride (Foolish pride)
That my sweet talkin' guy (Talking guy)
Was only talkin' lies

And I was goin' up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And it ain't no joke the way he broke my heart
Goin' up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And I'm all choked up inside
To see my dreams just turn into ashes
And all my hopes go up in a puff of smoke

He took me higher than a kite
Then dropped me like a light
(Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up)
Thought I had a chance
But he led me such a dance
(Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up)

Oooh, ooh-ooh, yea-ea-ea-ah
(Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up, up, up, up, up, up, up ,up, up)
Up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yea-eah
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh............FADE
