The Socialites

[Verse]

I think she’s the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen

Her hair — it has meaning and volume and such a sheen

Sometimes I think maybe I could go and talk to her

Her eyes — they look lonely, far away and inert

[Chorus]

Oh baby, the socialites who act so nice

Won't ever begin to let you in

They’ll act surprised, apologize

Won't ever let on

The face you wear is their own

[Verse]

I’m gonna try combing my hair in a thousand ways

Maybe he will notice and maybe look my way

[Chorus]

Oh baby, the other guys who act so nice

Won't ever begin to let you in

Stars in their eyes, they’ll apologize

Won't ever let on

They need someone real

[Bridge]

But they don’t know where I’m going

It’s not impossible to show

But to show is to open up

[Chorus]

The socialites who act so nice

Won't ever begin to let you in

They’ll act surprised, they'll apologize

Won't ever let on

The face you wear is their own

[Verse]

I'm glad they're the ones on the other side of the glass

Who knows what my spirit is worth in cold, hard cash

Oh baby
