I Gknow Cmthat you're Gwanted
but every little Cmthing Gtalks
take your pick and Cmmaybe they'll Gserve you, Emyeah
but Gyou, you Cmwill put them Gdown 
talk, but never listen
so how you wanna play your game
try to step on me baby 
oh, and I will, I will do the same 
because you want to set the world on fire 
little men, we'll never do 
made you think i'd be a desire, oh darling 
oh I, I see right through 
Clouded skies have lifted 
and voices ring out from the wire 
if you'll say you never meant to hurt me, no 
oh you would be a liar 
Because you want to set the world on fire 
and a little man will never do 
made you think I'd be a desire, oh darling 
you know I see right through
