Lyrics
May this lovely letter
Reach its destination (If only...)
Question one is: Why do you pretend that you like me? Oh phoney
See how the outside Contradicts what's inside Ooh, who can make Hitler seem like a bus conductor? You do, oh phoney, you do
You sing a lovely song to scale And the words spell out my name Oh phoney
But then you kick me down below 'Cause you know it won't show How could you?
See how the outside Contradicts what's inside Ooh, Who can make Hitler seem like a bus conductor?
You do, oh phoney Oh phoney, you do
You do, oh phoney Oh phoney, you do
You do, oh phoney Oh phoney, you do
