Lyrics

CONSOLATION PRIZE
Verse:
My self-esteem's dragging defeat
But I won't let it get to me.
You just made me believe
That you were too good for me.
Verse:
And if honesty's my fault
Convict me--why don't you all?
And Let the cops drag me away.
Truth is--don't need you anyway.
I'm satisfaction guaranteed.
Chorus:
I'm not your, I'm not your consolation prize.
I'm not your, I'm not your consolation.
I'm not your, I'm not your consolation prize, no, no.
Verse:
I thought I'd scratch your back if you'd scratch mine.
But it was just a waste of time.
Though nothing comes with a warranty--
Even when you don't expect anything.
At least I say what I mean.
I'm satisfaction guaranteed.
Chorus:
Instrumental Break
Chorus:
End:
I'm not yours.
I'm not your consolation prize.
I'm not yours.
I'm not your consolation prize.
