[Lyric] The Socialites (Dirty Projectors)

[Verse]
I think she’s the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen
Her hair — it has meaning and volume and such a sheen

Sometimes I think maybe I could go and talk to her
Her eyes — they look lonely, far away and inert

[Chorus]
Oh baby, the socialites who act so nice
Won't ever begin to let you in
They’ll act surprised, apologize
Won't ever let on
The face you wear is their own

[Verse]
I’m gonna try combing my hair in a thousand ways
Maybe he will notice and maybe look my way

[Chorus]
Oh baby, the other guys who act so nice
Won't ever begin to let you in
Stars in their eyes, they’ll apologize
Won't ever let on
They need someone real
[Bridge]
But they don’t know where I’m going
It’s not impossible to show
But to show is to open up

[Chorus]
The socialites who act so nice
Won't ever begin to let you in
They’ll act surprised, they'll apologize
Won't ever let on
The face you wear is their own

[Verse]
I'm glad they're the ones on the other side of the glass
Who knows what my spirit is worth in cold, hard cash
Oh baby
