Carly Simon - Dishonest Modesty lyrics

(carly simon/zach wiesner) You come on strong telling everyone About your latest role How you saved the movie, stole the show Well everybody knows And if you have no time for all your offers You'll see that i get called And if you have no time for all your men You'll see that i get balled Well i don't expect humility But what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty You say that you can understudy All the other parts You can write a song that will make us cry That touches all our hearts And you can house and garden Vogue and glamour, mademoiselle But i know you can b**h and screw And penthouse just aswell I don't expect humility But what about some good old dishonest modesty You try to be unique But somehow something's wrong 'cause your flower childish vision of life Cannot last too long You're over thrity and underweight Though you call yourself petite And you hang around with all the clowns You think they're so elite Well i don't expect humility But what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty
