0:19Cut off your nose to spite your friends
0:23Breathing holes that will never end oh
0:27Speak all you want or just pretend
0:34Because you think she is a different class
0:37So she sits all day by the looking glass oh
0:42It doesn't talk it doesn't last
0:49But it's not what I've heard you know
0:52A picture speaks a thousand words
0:56But baby don't feel down
1:00I left my heart in the privacy of town yeah
1:03You sold your soul for magic beans
1:07Don't believe all you read on computer screens
1:11These things they mean nothing to me
1:19Rimpton stain came off the track
1:22You go there once and you don't come back oh
1:28Good that's what I say
1:33But it's not what I've heard you know it
1:37Cut your losses shoot the poets
1:40And one day you'll come down
1:44To find yourself in the privacy of town
2:18But it's not what I've heard you know
2:21A picture speaks a thousand words
2:25But baby don't feel down
2:29I left my heart in the privacy of town yeah
2:32But it's not what I've heard you know it
2:36Cut your losses shoot the poets
2:40And one day you'll come down
2:43Oh to find yourself in the privacy of town
Cut off your nose to spite your friends Breathing holes that will never end oh Speak all you want or just pretend Because you think she is a different class So she sits all day by the looking glass oh It doesn't talk it doesn't last But it's not what I've heard you know A picture speaks a thousand words But baby don't feel down I left my heart in the privacy of town yeah You sold your soul for magic beans Don't believe all you read on computer screens These things they mean nothing to me Rimpton stain came off the track You go there once and you don't come back oh Good that's what I say But it's not what I've heard you know it Cut your losses shoot the poets And one day you'll come down To find yourself in the privacy of town But it's not what I've heard you know A picture speaks a thousand words But baby don't feel down I left my heart in the privacy of town yeah But it's not what I've heard you know it Cut your losses shoot the poets And one day you'll come down Oh to find yourself in the privacy of town
