"Women look at men like a giant sale tag, but by the time you realize the product sucks, it's out of warranty, you've lost the receipt, and you've convinced yourself that you've invested too much time and money to justify getting rid of it."

~ Sonny Uthith

Lyrics

Key of C  –  June, 2008

 

They stop and they stare, you already know who walked through the door

Trying not to act like they’re hiding the fact they’re picking their jaws up off the floor

Miss Helen of Troy, the ships have set sail, destined to go to every shore

But beauty’s blind, even in the light, try as I may, I can’t not cite you as

A perfect example

 

————— You don’t even know me, you think that you own me

You might if you’d only look into my eyes. Attendere Bonavox, to play in your sandbox

But I can’t bring myself to tell you lies, your blatant denies

Will end in a hard lesson learned which you’ll come to despise

 

You stop and you stare, trying to compare the signs at the mall

Trying not to act like they’re hiding the fact there’s nothing of value there after all

Like winding a toy, comparisons pale from those in the know to those you’ll ignore

But soon you’ll find, even in the night, cry as I may, I just lost sight of

A perfect example

 

REFRAIN: ————————————————————————————-

 

BRIDGE: ——– Like a game, I just have to claim that power and fame

Resides in my name, its always the same

 

REFRAIN: ————————————————————————————-

 

It ends with a hard lesson learned that you’ll come to despise in life
