Intro: * (play 2 times) * There's a tall, mulatto, boy I know * And he comes to every party - he stands alone. * In viewing them the rest, the 'corner of his glance, it gets so clear * He's not, judging anyone. * The way his arms float around his cage, he's caged * Canary sings, silently brings, his voice to rage. * The way they stop and stare, the way they turn their * heads, it's enough to make him want to run away, * But he stays, he stands his ground. (Chorus) * And I'm, I'm so damn lame. * The way I condescend without ever knowing his name. He keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear * Looks at everyone without the slightest fear. * It's makin' me so ashamed. * (play 2 times) * Slender body, slip through his glance. * I don't give it a single chance. The way he's rocking back and forth, * makes a buzzin' in my ear, * Constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear * him say hello, hello. (Chorus 2) * And I'm, I'm so damn lame. * Like a moth bumpin' off his godless flame. * I cannot condescend or even apprehend, what comes over me * When I see his shameless face. * So rage, please rage, against me * Beat me down, beat me down, forgive me, * For what I've done, I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame * So lame, so lame, so lame.
