It’s like I’ve been asleep
I’ve been sinking deep
The secrets and the lies
Got them riddles that you speak
Maybe I’m a freak
Or maybe just too ordinary
Tell me what the hell you expect from me?
Darling you’re a mask without a face
Lingerie without the lace
High fashion without the taste
Girl get it away from me, away from me Darling you’re the scars without the story
The guts without the glory
The truth is that you’re boring
Get it away from me, away from me My girl she’s the victim of a magazine
A magazine, oh oh, a magazine
Open up the cover girl let me see what’s underneath
What’s underneath, what’s underneath
Caught up in the fame
Weighing down you’re frame
Always looking different
Yeah, you always look so strange
Everyday’s a game
Caught up in the words you read
Wondering what you get from all the gossiping
You’re the class without the grace
You’re the plans that can’t be made
To the mirror you’re just a slave
Girl, get it away from me Away from me My girl she’s the victim of a magazine
A magazine, oh oh, a magazine
Open up the cover girl let me see what’s underneath
What’s underneath, what’s underneath
I’ve watched you fade
I’ve watched you turn
I’ve watched you hide
With every change you lose yourself
You drown in lies
When will you realise, that I don’t fantasise
About your make-up and your lack of every natural affair
I see through the lies, with my mortal eyes
You’re a victim of a magazine
Cut and paste is all you wear
My girl she’s the victim of a magazine
A magazine, oh oh, a magazine
Open up the cover girl let me see what’s underneath
What’s underneath, what’s underneath
I’ve watched you fade
I’ve watched you turn
I’ve watched you hide
(what's underneath, what’s underneath)
With every change you lose yourself
You lose your mind
(what's underneath, what’s underneath)
What’s underneath, what’s underneath
