[Verse 1]
Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts
Well, I don't
Said that I was sure the world was gonna change
Well, I'm not
Before I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say
But I do
Promised that I'd never ever lie to you

[Pre-Chorus]
But look at how
I'm takin' the make-up off my face
Before I forget my own features

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
That's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now to cheat on me

[Verse 2]
The promises I made to you went down the sink
Really hope I haven't harmed your self esteem
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think
And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream

[Pre-Chorus]
So look at how
I'm takin' the make-up off my face
Before I forget who I am now

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
It's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now, your turn now

[Chorus]
I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
It's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now, your turn now
To cheat on me
