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 got to be seen
To be playing the game
Yes, we got to be seen
To be playing.. the game
(chorus)
It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Every time you criticise
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'd tell me your name
I'd love to impress you
With a back summersault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault
(chorus)
When I open my mouth
Thoughts are 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
Everytime you womanise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I'm under your curse
(chorus)
