Please… Don't Be Yourself

Some try to warn be 'bout your acting skills
 They say there's a method in the way you feel
 The void you so desperately try to soothe
 So give me a drink before I love you too
 It only takes fifteen if you take in account
 The last five minutes you just didn't count
 Someone else just took your place
 Same old story 'bout a different face
 I'm not gonna wait 'till you say farewell
 Please, please don't be yourself
 It only takes fifteen if you take in account
 The last five minutes you just went around
 It only takes fifteen if you take in account
 The last five minutes you just didn't count
 Some... classes in the... school
 And they only make sense if you play by the rules
 And don't forget to compromise
 I'm not sure that you realise
 It only takes fifteen if you take in account
 The last five minutes you just went around
 It only takes fifteen if you take in account
 The last five minutes you just didn't count
