Dishonest Modesty Lyrics
(Carly Simon/Zach Wiesner)You come on strong telling everyoneAbout your latest roleHow you saved the movie, stole the showWell everybody knowsAnd if you have no time for all your offersYou'll see that I get calledAnd if you have no time for all your menYou'll see that I get balledWell I don't expect humilityBut what about some good old fashioned dishonest modestyYou say that you can understudyAll the other partsYou can write a song that will make us crythat touches all our heartsAnd you can House and GardenVogue and Glamour, MademoiselleBut I know you can Bitch and ScrewAnd Penthouse just aswellI don't expect humilityBut what about some good old dishonest modestyYou try to be uniqueBut somehow something's wrong'Cause your flower childish vision of lifeCannot last too longYou're over thrity and underweightThough you call yourself petiteAnd you hang around with all the clownsYou think they're so eliteWell I don't expect humilityBut what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty
Carly Simon Dishonest Modesty
