Lyrics

I met him in my favorite place
Well it used to be until I realized how crappy it could make me feel
Before the doorman rejected me
Couldn't handle my virginity, but the DJ could
Just before music turned life into something good
And he asked for my suggestions, needed my directions
And even though Dr. Martens don't go well with a Lion's Club tie
He asked if I was hungry
My wallet couldn't speak for me, so I gave him my company
But something made me try to read his eyes
I didn't give myself away
No matter how close it may seem
Apart from that precious faith
I didn't give myself away
He didn't take anything from me
Apart from that precious faith
In everyone's honesty
He had money enough to spend
Back home he had a girl
He had me watching his influence
He lied and I listened, word for word
But calling all the bluffs I heard I thought would cost me more
Than listening to the decadent ways of his world
By then I'd started noticing the masculine curse
Calculating with my young thirst, he said he had to see me naked first
Then for that part in his movie, he could end his search
He had me in mind
I failed to tell him he didn't strike me as being the director kind
I didn't give myself away
No matter how close it may seem
Apart from that precious faith
I didn't give myself away
He didn't take anything from me
Apart from that precious faith
In everyone's honesty
I never wanted to be an actress
I can't pretend to cry
I couldn't even ask him why he didn't look me in the eye
Still my naivety gave it a try
Behind his hotel room door
I could see his real intention rise from across the floor
I wish I'd been younger, then it could have passed as a mistake
I wish I'd been older, old enough to have him shake
By the way he was Swedish, and he really dealt in real estate
Well he dealt enough to see me naked
I should have exposed that white-feathered faker
I didn't give myself away
No matter how close it may seem
Apart from that precious faith
I didn't give myself away
He didn't take anything from me
Apart from that precious faith
In everyone's honesty
Honesty
Silly me
