Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows
Put my last quarter on
I play 'Authority Song'
[Chorus]
Honesty or mystery? Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I? Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I? Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do
[Verse 2]
The DJ never has it
J-M-C Automatic (Do I?)
If those were Roy's headphones
You bet he'd play, 'What Goes On' (Do I?)
[Chorus]
Honesty or mystery? Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I? Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I? Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
Do I?
[Verse 3]
Ah well, I'm here, that means something, doesn't it?
Uh, huh, won't you dance with me a little bit?
Oh, you don't notice, 'cause the music's too loud
[Verse 4]
It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows (Do I?) (Do I?)
Put my last quarter on
I play 'Authority Song' (Do I?)
[PreChorus]
Honesty or mystery? Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
Say anything you want, I'm ready, I'm not scared anymore
Honesty or mystery? Want something else? Just tell me
I'm not scared anymore (Ah, aha, ah, aha)
I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious, do I?
[Outro]
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Do I?) I don't seem obvious, do I?
