Lyrics Morcheba - Other wise

They wanted me here
Just to show you my face
But when it comes to the crunch
I just hide in disgrace
You're calling me mad
But I know you're the same
Cause you got to be seen to be
playing the game
Yes we got to be seen to be
playing, the game

Chorus:
It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

A specimen like you
I would love to obtain
I asked a tedious guy if he'll
tell me your name

I'd love to impress you
With a back somersault
I want to take out your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault

Chorus:

When I open my mouth
I'm so brutally honest
And I can't expect that kind of
love from you
When you open your mouth
Your teeth are beautifully polished
And I can't extract the pain you're
going through
No I can't explain
The pain you're going through
