Lyrics

And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold
 And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
 And you live in the past of a dream that you're in
 And your selfishness is your cardinal sin
 And you want to be held with highest regard
 It delights you so much
 If he's trying so hard
 And you're trying to conceal your ordinary way
 With a smile or a shrug
 Or some stolen cliché
 But don't you understand
 And don't you look about
 I'm trying to take nothing from you
 So why should you act so put out, for me
 'Cause emotionally, you're the same basic trip
 And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped
 So don't try to impress me
 You're just pins and paint
 And don't try to charm me
 With things that you ain't
 And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress
 'Cause a monkey in silk is a monkey no less
 So measure for measure, reflect on my said
 And when I won't see 'ya then measure it dead
 'Cause don't you understand
 And don't you look about
 I'm trying to take nothing from you
 So why should you act so put out
 And sit there and wonder in doubt
 For me
