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 gameIt 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 otherwiseA 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 vaultIt 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 otherwiseWhen 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 throughIt 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 noIt 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
