COSTUME MAKES THE CLOWN
Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts
Well I don't
Said that I was sure the world was gonna change
Well I'm not
Swore I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say
But I do
Promised that I'd never ever lie to you
But look at how
I'm takin' the makeup off my face
Before I forget my own features
Chorus
Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the Costume Makes the Clown
That's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now to cheat on me
The promises I made to you went down the sink
But I really hope I haven't harmed your self esteem
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think
And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream
So look at how
I'm takin' the makeup off my face
Before I forget who I am now
Chorus:
Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the Costume Makes the Clown
That's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now to cheat on me
Chorus:
Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the Costume Makes the Clown
That's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now to cheat on me
