David Odlum - The Bad Actress lyrics

She's a bad actress, but, hey You give her the big lines anyway Though her eyes are big as Canada And the hips are South Australia And the shoulder blade is Africa Looking out on South America I'm out here on the sea And her heart ain't where it ought to be She's a bad actress, but, hey She's got a big part in your play Now my apartment lies awake at night It tosses every time she sighs Tries to take it easy on her eyes But I can feel it giving up the fight My whole building's on its last floors Her heart's not in it anymore She said she gave her heart to you If it was precious, why'd you lose it? But if it was golden, it'd shine If it's big, it won't be hard to find If it's real, it stains your hands like wine You can look, but there is no use trying 'Cause no matter what she said, the truth Is that she never gave her heart to you She's a bad actress Bad actress
