And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold

And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told

And you live in the past of a dream that you're in

And your selfishness is your cardinal sin

And you want to be held with highest regard

If he likes you so much

If he's trying so hard

And you're trying to conceal your ordinary way

With a smile or a shrug

Or some stolen cliche

But don't you understand

And don't you look about

I'm trying to take nothing from you

So why should you act so put out for me

'Cause emotionally you're the same basic trip

And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped

So don't try to impress me

You're just pins and paint

And don't try to charm me

With things that you ain't

And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress

'Cause a monkey in silk is a monkey no less

So measure for measure reflect on my said

And when I won't see 'ya then measure it dead

'Cause don't you understand

And don't you look about

I'm trying to take nothing from you

So why should you act so put out

And sit there and wonder in doubt for me
