You really think that you're bigger than this?
to the tune of ten thousand lisps
who'd have thought i'd represent,
when i can't take a compliment?
overexposure is the key
and any focus on me
is appreciated, as it should be
no wonder now
i finally found the right formula for...
you taught me how
i play the fool
every mistake that i make
i couldn't have made without you
what's said is done, and plain to see
you take it all too seriously
what better way to make an honest mistake
than a televised hand of fate?
when the world closes in on you
a decision would be overdue
now nothing left is out of hand
a stronger, jaded man stands
and if the world is ending
then we toast to it.
i'm stronger now, but not without
the right formula for...
you taught me how
i play the fool
every mistake that i make
i couldn't have made without you
what's said is done and plain to see
here's all you get from me
here's all you get from me
i'm down for whatever...
what's there left to wait for?
i'll wait...
you taught me how
i play the fool
every mistake that i make
i couldn't have made without you
what's said is done and plain to see
here's all you get from me
