Lyrics
Painted Figure
(Intro)
I. Sittin' still in your chair. Posin' for a portrait.
Skylight on my naked skin. Smilin' 'cause it's just right.
Strokes upon th' canvass. Your brush caresses me.
Lovely works of beauty hang in your gallery.
(Chorus)
I'm not two dimensional! You looked into my eyes.
You know I'm in love with you and my curves are more than lines.
You sold me to th' highest bidder.
But, I'm more than just a painted figure.
II. Offered you my body. Your lover brings us tea.
Chats about your showing. An artist's fantasy.
Winks at me knowing. Appointed on your arm.
Got an evenin' gown. Drank and partied 'til dawn.
(Chorus)
I'm not two dimensional! You looked into my eyes.
You know I'm in love with you and my curves are more than lines.
You sold me to th' highest bidder.
But, I'm more than just a painted figure.
III. Shiverin', cold in this fog. Hours 'til you're finished.
Say, "Keep poutin' your lips, like you wanna be kissed."
Your palette hardens up. You're lookin' so confused.
You seem mesmerized. Am I your secret muse?
(Turnaround)
IV. Shabby, sheik apartment. Set up in high style.
Guilty pleasure when in town. Only spend a little while.
You isolate me now. Th' rumors must me true.
There's a younger model. I bet she's gettin' screwed.
(Chorus)
I'm not two dimensional. You looked into my eyes.
You know I'm in love with you and my curves are more than lines.
You sold me to th' highest bidder.
But, I'm more than just a painted figure.
(Tag)
I'm more than just a painted figure. (Music out)
