Lyrics

Paint me

I don?t take it too personally
when you tell me nice things
I know it?s not so special
to get to feeling like a king
Many a worse man, if there is one
Has been told many a kind word
So to feel good about a wretched self
is both common and absurd

But for just tonight I?ll enjoy this
I?ll enjoy it next time too
Cause I?m smiling despite all my wisdom
I know, that ain?t nothing new

I got to take it with a grain of salt
When you seduce me like this
It?s not rare to be taken to bed
Or to be softly kissed
And just because you?re beautiful
That don?t make it change
Everyone has the same desires
Beauty is not so strange

But for just tonight I?ll enjoy this
I?ll enjoy it next time too
Cause I?m smiling despite all my wisdom
I know, that ain?t nothing new

You have to say the nice things that you do
It?s an unconscious sand blasting tool
You can?t tell me, or yourself
That you?re spending your time with a fool
So you paint me into what it is that you need
And I?m a sucker to believe
That it?s even me you?re talking to
And asking not to leave

But for just tonight I?ll enjoy this
I?ll enjoy it next time too
Cause I?m smiling despite all my wisdom
I know, that ain?t nothing new
