Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could hang about and burn my fingers
I've been hangin' out here, waitin' for something to start
You think I'm faultless to a T
My manner set impeccably
But underneath I am the same as you
[Verse 2]
I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy
But you know I'd rather drag myself across the dancefloor
I feel like dancin' on my own
Where no one knows me, and where I
Can cause offense just by the way I look
[Verse 3]
And when it come to blows
When I am numberin' my foes
Just hope that you are on my side, my dear
[Verse 4]
But it's best to finish as it started
With my face head-down, just staring at the brown formica
It's safer not to look around
I can't hide my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days
[Verse 5]
You say I've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm brutal, honest, and afraid of you
[Verse 6]
It's safer not to look around
There's no hidin' my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days
[Verse 7]
You say I've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm honest, brutal, and afraid of you
