Costume Makes the Clown
Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts, well, I don't
Said that I was sure the world was gonna change, well, I'm not
Before I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say, but I do
Promised that I'd never ever lie to you
So look at how I'm taking the make-up off my face
Before I forget my own features
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
Well, it's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
Oh, it's your turn now (to cheat on me)
The promises I made to you went down the sink
Really hope I haven't harmed your self-esteem
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think
And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream
So look at how I'm taking the make-up off my face
Before I forget who I am now
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
It's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
Oh, it's your turn now, your turn now
I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
Well, it's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now, your turn now
To cheat on me
Said that I was sure the world was gonna change, well, I'm not
Before I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say, but I do
Promised that I'd never ever lie to you
So look at how I'm taking the make-up off my face
Before I forget my own features
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
Well, it's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
Oh, it's your turn now (to cheat on me)
The promises I made to you went down the sink
Really hope I haven't harmed your self-esteem
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think
And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream
So look at how I'm taking the make-up off my face
Before I forget who I am now
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
It's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
Oh, it's your turn now, your turn now
I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
Well, it's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now, your turn now
To cheat on me
