SOMETHIN TO PROVE

Sittin pretty
Cigarette tucked between your lips
It’s not what you were smokin
…just the way you took the drag
Private parties don’t hold envelopes for lonely strangers
Even if you knew that I was hurtin
Even though you saw my flag
That look in your eye was close enough to tell

You had something to prove
 You been makin a move
 Opposite to my heart
 But I think that it’s just my reflection that makes it dirty
 …make it dirty

Don’t smile it won’t go over
Don’t you know that’s just a warning device
I know to look behind me if I think you’re getting nice
Oh I’ve spoken your language for too long not to see
That that jaded song you’re singin baby is just lip sync to me

You had something to prove
You been makin a move
Opposite to my heart
You been shinnin your badge of perfection
But I think that it’s just my reflection that makes it dirty

Well I know you’re hidin that rose tattoo
and I know nobody loves to touch it more than you
Yes there’s a boy for every needle hole that pierced your precious skin
You’re sittin on the secrets of your homemade sin
You had something to prove
You been makin a move
Opposite my heart

You been shinin your badge of perfection
But I think yes I think no I know that it’s just my reflection
that makes it
that makes it dirty
