Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They wanted me here just to show you my face

But when it comes to the crunch, I just hide in disgrace

You're calling me mad, but I know you're the same

'Cause you gotta be seen to be playing the game

Yes, we gotta be seen to be playing the game

[Verse 2]

It ain't gonna hurt, now, if you open up your eyes

You're making it worse, now, every time you criticize

I'm under your curse, now, but I call it compromise

I thought that you were wise, but you were otherwise

[Verse 3]

A specimen like you, I would love to obtain

I asked a tedious guy if he'll tell me your name

I'd love to impress you with a back somersault

I want to take out your love, but it's locked in a vault

I want to take out your love, but it's locked in a vault

[Verse 4]

It ain't gonna hurt, now, if you open up your eyes

You're making it worse, now, every time you criticize

I'm under your curse, now, but I call it compromise

I thought that you were wise, but you were otherwise

[Verse 5]

When I open my mouth, I'm so brutally honest

And I can't expect that kind of love from you

When you open your mouth, your teeth are beautifully polished

And I can't extract the pain you're going through

No, I can't explain the pain you're going through

[Verse 6]

It ain't gonna hurt, now, if you open up your eyes

You're making it worse, now, every time you womanize

I'm under your curse, now, but I call it compromise

I'm under your curse, oh

[Verse 7]

It ain't gonna hurt, now, if you open up your eyes

You're making it worse, now, every time you criticize

I'm under your curse, now, but I call it compromise

I thought that you were wise, but you were otherwise
