Chameleon
Chameleon, you're breakin' his heart
It's in pieces on the ground - all apart
There's nothing that that boy won't do when it comes to you
Chameleon, you know that it's wrong
But it's fun to have someone you can pull along
The way you treat that boy ain't fair, but he don't care
What does it mean if you know you don't mean it?
What does it say if you got nothing to say?
He's just your silly little thing hangin' on a string
Waiting by the phone praying it'll ring
You know it ain't right
'Cause you're never gonna do what he wants to
Kneeling by the bed, praying it true
You know it ain't right
Chameleon, what's he gonna do?
You gloss them lips, shake them hips
Honey, what's wrong with you?
He'll follow you wherever you go, and I know you know
What does it mean it you know you don't mean it?
What does it say if you got nothing to say?
He's just your silly little thing hangin' on a string
Waiting by the phone praying it'll ring
You know it ain't right
'Cause you're never gonna do what he wants to
Kneeling by the bed, praying it true
You know it ain't right
You ain't gotta tell me, he fell too fast
But would you just tell him it ain't gonna last
What does it mean it you know you don't mean it?
What does it say if you got nothing to say?
He's just your silly little thing hangin' on a string
Waiting by the phone praying it'll ring
You know it ain't right
'Cause you're never gonna do what he wants to
Kneeling by the bed, praying it true
You know it ain't right
