Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Oh, don't you know
Life is a fantasy dress ball
And if you must come as yourself, well
You're no fun at all
Here's a tip: Just be yourself
But more so
And that's our cue to go
Whoa-oh whoa-oh yeah
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
So, yes or no
Are you in or are you out?
I didn't get all dressed up
Just to fight your self-doubt
Fool yourself and you can
Fool anyone you choose
There's no way you can lose
Whoa-oh whoa-oh yeah
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
What's a line if you don't toe it?
What's the lead if you don't blow it?
I think losing everything could be so therapeutic
What's a horn if you don't toot it?
What's a gun if you don't shoot it?
Just because you fucked it up doesn't mean we knew it, yeah
Whoa-oh
whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
whooooaah
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
Hey!
