She's so easy to fall for But boy, she's so hard to hold She looks at you like a warning You know you're gonna be hungry when you get home Her lips make the cherries and the berries and the apples look pale She could ask anything, you would do anything No matter what, you would obey
But she turns every room into a dancefloor But she turns and she sways and she spins And you're standing still like a statue And you can't take your eyes off her skin
Oh boy, you better slow it down You're running on unsolid ground And she'll never slow down for you Oh boy, you'll never win that crown You're just one of one hundred clowns I know it's sad, but it's true
Everything that she touches Every word from her mouth turns to gold How can you ever catch her up when She's all colors and heat You're all grey and cold? Keep looking up But she'll never ever look down Oh look at this part you've chosen You're the jester of the queen She's the queen of the town
And you wish she was in a movie You could watch at home ten times a day Where you could just sit without having to think About something important to say
Oh boy, you better slow it down You're running on unsolid ground And she'll never slow down for you Oh boy, you'll never win that crown You're just one of one hundred clowns I know it's sad but it's true
You should go home, boy You should call a friend Someone to tell you there's no happy way for this to end Shut your eyes, boy Don't let them fool you See all this beauty It's looking through you Put out that fire, boy Don't let it eat you Don't you know it's dangerous? What did you daddy teach you? It's not your fault and It's not her fault, but You're gonna fall hard
Oh boy, you better slow it down You're running on unsolid ground And she'll never slow dance with you Oh boy, you'll never win that crown You're just one of one hundred clowns I know it's sad but it's true
