A letra:
Your
private life drama baby leave me out
(repeat 3 times)
J'ai
les glands with your theatrics
Your acting's a drag
It's o.k.
on TV 'cause you can turn it off
But don't try me
Yes your
marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very
superficial I hate anything official
Your private life drama baby leave me
out
(repeat 3 times)
(backup chorus)
You've been lying to
someone and now me
Stop
(repeat 3 times)
Your sentimental gestures only bore me
to death
You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret
Shit that's
so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations
Your private life drama baby leave me
out
(repeat 3 times)
(backup chorus)
You've been lying to
someone and now me
Stop
(repeat 3 times)
You asked me for advice I said use the
door
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore
And
now you want to use me for emotional blackmail
I just feel pity
when you lie, contempt when you cry
Your private life drama baby leave me
out
(repeat 3 times)
(backup chorus)
You've been lying to
someone and now me
Stop
(repeat 3 times)
