song-cover

I've Seen That Movie Too

I can see by your eyes you must be lying

When you think I don't have a clue

Baby you're crazy

If you think that you can fool me

Because I've seen that movie too

The one where the players are acting surprised

Saying love's just a four letter word

Between forcing smiles, with the knives in their eyes

Well their actions become so absurd

So keep your auditions for somebody

Who hasn't got so much to lose

`Cause you can tell by the lines I'm reciting

That I've seen that movie too

It's a habit I have, I don't get pushed around

Stop twinkling your star like you do

I'm not the blue print for all of your B films

Because I've seen that movie too
