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

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

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

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

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

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

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
