Otherwise
They wanted me hereJust to show you my faceBut when it comes to the crunchI just hide in disgraceYou're calling me madBut I know you're the same'Cause you got to be seenTo be playing the gameYes, we got to be seenTo be playing.. the game
(chorus)It ain't gonna hurt nowIf you open up your eyesYou're making it worse nowEvery time you criticiseI'm under your curse nowBut I call it compromiseI thought that you were wiseBut you were otherwise
A specimen like youI would love to obtainI asked a tedious guyIf he'd tell me your nameI'd love to impress youWith a back summersaultI wanna take up your loveBut it's locked in a vaultI wanna take up your loveBut it's locked in a vault
(chorus)
When I open my mouthThoughts are brutally honestAnd I can't expect that kind of love from youWhen you open your mouthYour teeth are beautifully polishedAnd I can't extract the pain you're going throughNo I can't explainThe pain you're going through
It ain't gonna hurt nowIf you open up your eyesYou're making it worse nowEverytime you womaniseI'm under your curse nowBut I call it compromiseI'm under your curse
(chorus)
