Otherwise Songtext

von Morcheeba

They wanted me here
Just to show you my face
But when it comes to the crunch
I just hide in disgrace
You're calling me mad
But I know you're the same
Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game
Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But they call it compromise
I thought that you arise
But you were otherwise

They're stressing me like you
I would love to obtain
I asked it to this guy if he'd tell me your name
I'd love to impress you
With the backs of my soul
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But they call it compromise
I thought that you arise
But you were otherwise

When I open my mouth
I'm so brutally honest
And I can't expect that kind of love from you
When you open your mouth
It's so beautifully polished
And I can't extract the pain you're going through
No I can't explain
The pain you're going through

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you womanise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I'm under your curse

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But they call it compromise
I thought that you arise
But you were otherwise
