She Never Told Me She Was A Mime

When we first met she seemed perfectly normal

I never dreamed she'd make my life so hard

You see, my baby, she started to change

Started lookin' kinda strange

Wearin' all that white makeup and those black leotards

Well, I guess she kept her little secret pretty well

Now, ever since I learned the horrible truth, you know my life has been a living hell

That's right, you see...

She never told me she was a mime

She never told me she was a mime, oh no

Actin' like she's trapped inside a big glass box all the time

She never told me, she never told me whe was a...

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime

I wish we both could just talk it all over

But my baby won't even make a sound

Now she makes everybody sick

Doin' that pantomime shtick

Even our old friends have stopped coming around

Well, mmy parents can't stand her and our neighbors hate her guts

She's really, really embarrassing me... this silent treatment's driving me nuts

You see...

She never told me she was a mime

She never told me she was a mime, oh no

Now she's actin' like she's trapped inside a big glass box all the time... what a crime

She never told me (she never told me) she never told me she was a mime

She walks against the wind everywhere we go

Stops at every corner, gotta put on a show

Carries 'round a picture of Marcel Marceau

Always the wuiet type, but how was I know to know?

She never told me she was a mime

She never told me she was a mime, oh no

Actin' like she's trapped inside a big glass box all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yime

She never told me, she never told me whe was a mime
