It always starts off innocent
But there is malice in these words
And I'll be extra vigilant
Won't let the message you send blur
Backhanded compliments
Must think you're heaven-sent
Honey, here's your wake-up call
Your words won't make me fall
Sh-sh
Showoff, poser, fake
Everybody's watching every step you take
Whoa-oh, what mistake
Their words won't make me break
Struggling to keep my poise
I've heard this song a thousand times
But I won't fall for a single ploy
One day you'll pay for all your crimes
Sh-sh
Showoff, poser, fake
Everybody's watching every step you take
Whoa-oh, what mistake
Their words won't make me break
Nothing but playground noise
Go back to all your toys
Trying to take a piece of me
I feel so lost at sea
I know one day this will stop
Don't let your pretty little chin drop
