Lyrics :

And your measure for wealth by the things you can hold
And your measure for love by the sweet things you're told
And you live in the past or the dream that you're in
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin

And you want to be held with the highest regard
It delights you so much if he's trying so hard
And you try to conceal your ordinary ways
With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche

'Cos 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


'Cos 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
'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less
So measure for measure reflect on my said
And when I won't see you then measure it dead

'Cos 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 and doubt - for me
