Lyrics

[Verse 1]

J'en ai marre with your theatrics

Your acting's a drag

It's okay on TV

But you can't turn it off

Your marriage is a tragedy

But it's not my concern

I'm very superficial

I hate everything official

[Verse 2]

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

[Verse 3]

Sentimental gestures only bore me to death

You've made a desperate appeal

Now save your breath

Attachment to obligation

Regret, shit, that's so wet

And your sex life complications

Are not my fascinations

[Verse 4]

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 5]

You asked my advice

I say use the door

But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore

And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail?

I just fell potty when you lie

Contempt when you cry

[Verse 6]

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Oh-oh-oh

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
