Lyrics

Exhibition yourself, we'll hold a show on the shelf
Now we can feel a change is on the way
You're not a skin or a spiv
Boy who are you trying to kid
You're jolly handsome, super
Wizard, okay ?
Would you resort to telling
All your friends lies
When they can see right through
Your flimsy disguise ?
We all consider you far ouy
So there can be a little doubt
You're gonna make it in a big, big way
Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning
And the youbs have made a go at forgiving
And the new man he appears to be winning
What a shame, such a bore !
I don't wanna turn on tonite
Said I don't wanna turn on tonite

You pat your hand in the air
And when they ask you to say "yeah"
And they'll be happy to believe
You're both kinds
Then shake a fist or a leg
And prove the image is dead
Or the chances are you'll trip up their minds
Oh you're too cute to be a big rock star
But if you're cool you may not push it too far
Oh just believe in yourself
And take a tip from the elf
And sing a boogie to the image fatale
Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning
And the youbs have made a go at forgiving
And the new man he appears to be winning
What a shame, such a bore !
I don't wanna turn on tonite
Said I don't wanna turn on tonite

You feel loretta's deep breaths
You put a hand on her breast
You feel her come on like some movie-star chick
You slide her body across
You fight so hard to be boss
But sweet loretta, she knows all the tricks
So you perform like it's your very best show
You turn her on but she's never gonna know
Then you can shuffle your hips
Or m-m-mae west lips
But you're the same old thing we've always known
Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning
And the youbs have made a go at forgiving
And the new man he appears to be winning
What a shame, such a bore !
I don't wanna turn on tonite
Said I don't wanna turn on tonite
