Lyrics
First To Know
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.
I've been abused and I've been misled
She made me sleep on the sofa bed
Nobody thinks she could ever be wrong
She stole the words to my favourite song
You were there when I needed you most
You've been a lover and a perfect host
But are you all that you seem to be?
If someone's gotta be hurt, don't let it be me
I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know
She was sharp as a guillotine
She gobbled money like a fruit machine
She asked me why but I couldn't explain
I'd lie awake and just rattle my chains
And I don't wanna see your ego swell
Don't wear me like a pin on your lapel
I'm too old to be your protégé
I'm too young to be sleeping in the subway
I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know
I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know
I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know
I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
