First to Know

I've been abused and I’ve been misled
She made me sleep on the sofa bed
Nobody thinks she could ever be wrong
She stole the words to my favourite song

You were there when I needed you most
You've been a lover and a perfect host
But are you all that you seem to be?
If someone's gotta be hurt, don’t let it be me

I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know

She was sharp as a guillotinе
She gobbled money likе a fruit machine
She asked me why but I couldn't explain
I'd lie awake and just rattle my chains

And I don't wanna see your ego swell
Don't wear me like a pin on your lapel
I'm too old to be your protégé
I'm too young to be sleeping in the subway

I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I’m a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know

I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I’m a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know

I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
I just wanna be the first to know

I just wanna be the first to know
If this is real or a placebo
If I’m a toy you may soon outgrow...
