Conceit about inauthenticity, projection and pedestals
lyrics
I’ve got one Suitor in this city
I’ve got two Suitor’s oh that’s plenty
I’ve got three, four, five oh now that’s too many
I’ve got too many Suitors in this town
Well they think they know, and they Want it
they think they know and they’ll do Anything to get it
now they Know they know and now they Regret it
I’ve got too many Suitors in this town
‘Cause if they knew…
they wouldn’t care
Yea if they knew, they would look elsewhere
‘Cause when a girl’s in a small town and got too many Suitors
too many Suitors, ah she ends up all alone.
I go out dancing by myself, I go out dancin’ I’m in bed by 12
I keep my mind on silent, ‘cause all of them are tryin’
I’ve got too many Suitors in this town.
Well they’ll say anything, they don’t know what they’re saying
But I hear ever word, and wonder why I didn’t stay in
I don’t wanna be a pawn in the game they’re playing
I’ve got too many Suitors in this town
‘Cause if they knew…
they wouldn’t care
Yea if they knew, they would look elsewhere
‘Cause when a girl’s in a small town and got too many Suitors
too many Suitors, ah she ends up all alone.
I’ve got one one one Suitor
two two two Suitors
three three three suitors, oh that’s too many
four four suitors, five five five suitors
I think it’s, TIME TO MOVE!
‘Cause when a girl’s in a small town and got too many Suitors
too many Suitors, ah she ends up all alone.
