Accueil  💃🎤 Paroles de chanson Française et Internationnales

And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold
And you measure for love by the sweet things you´re told
And you live in the past or a dream that you´re in

And your selfishness is your cardinal sin.

And you want to be held with highest regard
It delights you so much if he´s trying so hard
And you try to conceal your ordinary ways
With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche.

´Cos emotionally you´re the same basic trip
And you know that I know of the times that you´ve slipped
So don´t try to impress me, you´re just pins and paint
And don´t try to charm me with things that you ain´t.

And don´t try to enchant me with your manner of dress
´Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less

So measure for measure reflect on my said

And when I won´t see you then measure it dead.

´Cos don´t you understand, and don´t you look about
I´m trying to take nothing from you
So why should you act so put out for me?
