You took to the stage, a Chiffon, a Supreme And reading from a tv screen
You sang with genuine emotion
Or so it did seem
Your eyes expressed a Vision Of Love Your arms outstretched to me
We met Under The Boardwalk
But did it mean anything?
You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me? Are you going to Stand By Your Man Or is it just karaoke?
Words from Cyrano are easy to ape Anyway though it’s fun to escape
In the intoxication and fantasy
That’s much sweeter than the grape I’ll live either way
The vapor or that other thing
If be the vapor, flood the lights
If be the other, Your Love Is King You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me? Are you going to Stand By Your Man Or is it just karaoke?
Is it karaoke, all your words?
Is it karaoke, your antics?
Or is it all some kind of pantomime? Playing the role of romantic?
Don’t let’s answer this question now I Guess It Doesn’t Matter Anymore Guess I’m a load of karaoke too Unable to say more
You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me? Are you going to Stand By Your Man Or are you just karaokeing me?
You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me? Are you going to Stand By Your Man Or is it just karaoke?
