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      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'd tell me your name   I'd love to impress you with a back somersault   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      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 no      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
