Otherwise lyrics

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

Every time 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'd tell me your name

I'd love to impress you

With a back summersault

I wanna take up 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

Thoughts are 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

It ain't gonna hurt now

If you open up your eyes

You're making it worse now

Everytime you womanise

I'm under your curse now

But I call it compromise

I'm under your curse

(chorus)
