I was there in the corner With my tumbler of gin And the room got much colder So I knew youd come in Whos that guy on your shoulder? Whats that crap on his chin? And I know its not my place To go around acting jealous But when you shove it in my face Thats just callous Now when you introduce us What am I supposed to say When my handshakes not hardy And my laughters not gay? This may not be my party I may cry anyway You can say that hes a prince I dont think that youll like his palace But when you look so damn convinced Thats just callous Now my heart feels like sushi Its so tender and raw But I know when Im beaten So I guess Ill withdraw From the nights that you sweeten And the flies that you draw And it may be disregard That Im mistaking for malice But when you kiss in your own backyard Thats just callous
