Lyrics
Good Taste
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're makin' a fool out of yourself
By following me around
Like a Japanese woman who stands ten steps in the shadow of her man
You're following me around
You're following me around
You're makin' a joke of yourself
Your friends are talking behind your back
You're makin' a joke of yourself
Your friends are talking behind your back
What you gonna do
What you gonna do
Makin' a fool of yourself over me
Makin' a fool of yourself, can't you see
Makin' a fool of yourself over me
Over me, over me, over me
Proves that you have good taste
Makin' a fool of yourself
By slipping around
Shooting up ___(?)
Under the ground
But it just gets to prove
That you've got good taste
You've got good taste
