Again it sneaks up from behind
And it asks me if it can help
It flatters me with plush and velvet
And says "Just look at yourself"
The feeling's out of the box
And it looks dazzling again
And life becomes a department store
I'll keep it on right away
Ages come and go
I've tried them on more than once
Here too tight, there too strict
Too bizarre, not my style
The feeling doesn't suit me
The feeling sneaks up on me again
Quietly asks me what I really want
And then it April-fools me and says
The feeling's like the latest craze
As soon as it disappears and passes by
You laugh at it and think
"Oh, how dumb I was"
Ages come and go
I've tried them on more than once
Here too tight, there too strict
Too bizarre, not my style
The feeling doesn't suit me
The feeling's out of the box
And it already knocks my socks off
But life isn't a department store 'cause it takes nothing back
Ages come and go
I've tried them on more than once
Here too tight, there too strict
Too bizarre, not my style
The feeling doesn't suit me
