She plays the part of Shallow Heart
Her act is fooling him and
Though she means well
I know her spell
He'll find her cold and cavalier
But underneath her intrigue
It's just a lonely girl
Yearning for affection
Afraid she won't be heard
The audience commends her
And she is sifting
Through their applause
In search of pause
Someone different from the crowd
I know a lad
Hooked up on a girl
She's got the goods
He's got it bad
Terrified he's heading for the rub
His heart's beating faster
With every witty word
He's sensing disaster
In every haughty smirk
And raised with shallow pockets
His wealth is waiting deep in his soul
It's time to show
How he's different from the crowd
Wise to my ruse
My woes amused
Our love is waiting in the wings
And now
All those other stories melt away
A golden tune
A silver spoon
Are brushed aside
As curtains reveal
Our hearts appeal
Someone different from the crowd
Different from the crowd
