I found america had another corner of my wallet

it's a well kept secret, thought that I had better swallow it

thought they'd make me spit out the truth

before they find you're lying about your youth



CHORUS:

b movie that's all you're to me

just a soft-soap story

don't want no woman to act on me

you can't stand it when it goes to reel to reel to reel to reel

I can't stand it when I go on trying, you can't feel



all the time there's rule book in pretending

there's no one in the wings

and everybody's on the make

it's not your heart I want to break



turn out the lights I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now

but just give me a promise that I'm supposed to keep now

I don't want some fool asking me why

when I find you're finally making me cry



chorus
