you're a beautiful man was cool to hold you thought i could have you boy was i wrong it was a dirty plan it's time someone told you you don't hold the world in the palm of your hand it must feel freaky to be so sneaky i guess you thought i'd never know the one you loved had split, and he kind liked my shit so you booked yourself a private show [chorus:] i know i'm nothing special i've never been the best but there are thoughts in my head and a thump in my chest i'm a little embarrassed is this part of your plan i'm not a cardboard cutout just a lonely man whose heart is achin' you're the reason why so after all this did you at least get your guy? we had a few good laughs talked for awhile and walked round the island hands intertwined i also lied to you said i liked your tattoo i was only tryin' to be kind you rose up from the east and set into a jest it was joking at its worst and trickery at best now i have come to see the big punchline was me your magic carpet just a vehicle for jealousy [chorus]
