Mother and child
I'm such a man for a short while
Promises be
The world just spins faster than me
(Come on, come on, come on)

And all of your friends
are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends
I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

Beauty or beast?
(Beauty or beast?)
Which character am I to be?
I'm now powdering
(I'm now powdering)
All the makeup that makes me
(Come on, come on, come on)

And all of your friends
Are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends
Are hopelessly
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy
And all of your friends
Are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends
Are hopelessly
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

(You got it, you got it)
(Come on)

And all of your friends
Are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends
Are hopelessly
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy
And all of your friends
Are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends
Are hopelessly
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

(Energy, energy, energy, energy, ahh)
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, ahh)
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
