Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
[Verse 2]
Every twenty seconds, you repeat her name
But when it comes to me, you don't care
[Verse 3]
Next to her cheap silicon, I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes, I'm invisible
[Verse 4]
You gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about so
[Verse 5]
Objection, I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free, and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection, I'm tired of this triangle
I got dizzy dancin' the tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away
[Verse 6]
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here
[Verse 7]
This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it, rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Oh, don't you count on me, boy
[Verse 8]
Objection, I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free, and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection, I'm tired of this triangle
I got dizzy dancin' the tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away
[Verse 9]
Get away
Get away, ay, ay, ay
Get away
[Verse 10]
Oh, I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way
Oh, I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away
