If you move into my life and take over my soul

And make your approval my ultimate goal

Am
I will begin to shrink

Back into the corner of my own skin

Until I'm so small and pink

That no one would see me even if they got in
verse 3

Your enormous index finger would be probing to find me

As I darted between the walls of my own personality

Which would be changing as I left most of it behind me
Dm E B
Disappearing into a new reality
verse 4
Am
And when you tried to trot me out to show me to your friends

As you open the door of your Mercedes Benz
F E Dm
Now you've got the oyster you don't need the pearl when

You can have my beautiful smile

That wonderfully elegant style

All my show business connections

Both of my cats affections

The clothes you bought me are yours

That Timex watch endures

My good relationship with your mom

My ability to remain calm
Verse 7

But here I'd be like a dead person looking down

At the cemetery where they placed a stone

With a name on it like Jane Smith or John Brown

That I no longer recognized as my own

Am Dm
Hold me tight and I'll just shed my skin

Slither away, no matter what's happening
