It's not her fault she's so irresistible Bat all the damage she's caused isn't fixable Every twenty seconds you repeat her name But when it comes to me you don't care If I'm alive or dead So objection I don't want to be the exception To get a bit of your attention I love you for free and I'm not your mother But you don't even bother Objection I'm tired of this triangle Got dizzy dancing tango I'm falling apart in your hands again No way I've got to get away Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible But you gotta know small things also count You better put your feet on the ground And see what its about Objection I don't want to be the exception To get a bit of your attention I love you for free and I'm not your mother But you don't even bother Objection I'm tired of this triangle Got dizzy dancing tango I'm falling apart in your hands again No way I've got to get away I wish there was a chance for you and me I wish you couldn't find a place to be Away from here This is pathetic and sardonic Its sadistic and psychotic Tango is not for three Was never meant to be But you can try it Rehearse it Or train like a horse But don't you count on me Don't you count on me boy Objection I don't want to be the exception To get a bit of your attention I love you for free and I'm not your mother But you don't even bother Objection I'm tired of this triangle Got dizzy dancing tango I'm falling apart in your hands again No way I've got to get away
