This little creature Lives in your wardrobe He's seen you fake it He's seen you naked He's been through your pockets And sucked out your secrets He stole all your best lines Seems just like the old times There He comes She swallows That's no lover That's a vanity thief That's no lover That's a vanity thief Seen through your good shoes Rubbed off your red lips He sits like a fat man Curled round your thin hips He messed up your bed sheets Sucked up your secrets He stole all your best lines Seems just like old times There He comes She swallows
