Verse 1
Trash and vaudeville
Tight dresses and painted faces
It's time to free the lions
From the circus cages
Jaded baby
Come whisper in my ear
Better come closer 'cause
The music is loud here
Pre-chorus
I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of
I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams
Deep inside
Don't you have a little bit of sympathy
Chorus
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
Verse 2
Don't you get tired
Same smilin' faces
Don't you get a little bit lonely
Hiding in crowded places
Don't trust the stranger
You should know better
But this heart of darkness
Can be your shelter
Pre-chorus
I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here
I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy
I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did
Chorus
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
