Extra Savoir-Faire
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.
When I walk down the street, most guys look like elves
I don't mean to put them down but they do
It's hard to understand me from the language I use
There's no word in English for my style
What's a man like me supposed to do
With all this extra savoir-faire
What is left for me to prove, dear
I know just what to do when the ladies come 'round
You can try to copy me but you'll fail
Now, you might think you're different but time will prove me right
When you wake up from your dream I'll be gone
What's a man like me supposed to do
With all this extra savoir-faire
What is left for me to prove, dear
