[Verse 1]
I can't play these games with you no longer
I get my fingers caught inside your door
Now everything I say is just a joke
Spendin' my money now, you leave me broke
Living someone's life in clear blue skies
Fairy tales and dreams and alibis
All you want from me are things for you
Use me till I don't know what to do
You live in your own world anyway
Twistin' every single thing I say
In my home town I feel out of place
Changed my name, I'll find a different face
[Chorus]
You tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me out of my mind, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can hear the wolves outside the bar
Sometimes I don't know which one you are
Imitation's all that you accept
Shadows of myself that you once met
Bottles in the alley break and smash
Get into the car for one car crash
[Chorus]
You tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me down, drivin' me down to my knees
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me down to my knees
[Outro]
Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me out of my mind
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal, oh
No way, Mr. Wonderful, no way, no way
Ideal, wonderful, ideal, wonderful...
I can't play these games with you no longer
I get my fingers caught inside your door
Now everything I say is just a joke
Spendin' my money now, you leave me broke
Living someone's life in clear blue skies
Fairy tales and dreams and alibis
All you want from me are things for you
Use me till I don't know what to do
You live in your own world anyway
Twistin' every single thing I say
In my home town I feel out of place
Changed my name, I'll find a different face
[Chorus]
You tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me out of my mind, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can hear the wolves outside the bar
Sometimes I don't know which one you are
Imitation's all that you accept
Shadows of myself that you once met
Bottles in the alley break and smash
Get into the car for one car crash
[Chorus]
You tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me down, drivin' me down to my knees
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me down to my knees
[Outro]
Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's drivin' me out of my mind
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal, oh
No way, Mr. Wonderful, no way, no way
Ideal, wonderful, ideal, wonderful...
