She's so easy to fall for
But boy, she's so hard to hold
She looks at you like a warning
You know you're gonna be hungry
When you get home
Her lips make the cherries and the berries
And the apples look pale
She could ask anything, you would do anything
No matter what you would obeyAnd she turns every room into a dancefloor
When she turns and she sways and she spins
And you're standing still like a statue
And you can't take your eyes off her skinOh boy
You better slow it down
You're running on unsolid ground
She'll never slow down for you
Oh boy
You'll never wear that crown
You're just one of one hundred clowns
I know it's sad but it's trueEverything that she touches
Every word from her mouth turns to gold
How can you ever catch her eye when
She's all colors and heat
You're all grey and cold
You keep looking up
But she'll never ever look down
Oh look at this part you've chosen
You're the jester of the queen
She's the queen of the townAnd you wish she was in a movie
You could watch at home ten times a day
Where you could just sit without having to think
About something important to sayOh boy
You better slow it down
You're running on unsolid ground
She'll never slow down for you
Oh boy
You'll never wear that crown
You're just one of one hundred clowns
I know it's sad but it's trueYou should go home boy
You should call a friend
Someone to tell you
There's no happy way for this to end
Shut your eyes boy
Don't let them fool you
See all this beauty
It's looking through you
Put out that fire boy
Don't let it eat you
Don't you know it's dangerous
What did your daddy teach you
It's not your fault and
It's not her fault but
You're gonna fall hardOb boy you better slow it down
You're running on unsolid ground
She'll never slow down for you
Oh boy
You'll never wear that crown
You're just one of one hundred clown
I know it's sad but it's true
