Lyrics

Well I thought I'd take a chance
And get to know you from a safe distance
Where I could choose my face and name
Just assuming that you would do the same

But you soaked up everything I said
And now I wish that I were dead
Your lines were built on truth
And mine were built to suit

It's just something I made up
To win your favour, win your love
I'm mad about you, can't you tell?
And heaven help me if I can't live up to myself

Well I've seen it work before
You set the trap door and they fall through the floor
And somewhere in the second half
You lay the whole thing out and have a real good laugh

A simple click and I'd be gone
But you just let me carry on
And I can't bear to think
I've lied my life away

It's just something I made up
To win your favour, win your love
I'm mad about you, can't you tell?
And heaven help me if I can't live up to myself

Well I sure amazed myself
Just how easy all those words flowed out
Cos I don't really think that way
And those aren't really the kinds of things I'd say

It's just something I made up
To win your favour, win your love
I'm mad about you, can't you tell?
And heaven help me if I can't live up to myself
