I've been abused and I've been misled She made me sleep on the sofa bed Nobody thinks she could ever be wrong She stole the words to my favourite song You were there when I needed you most You've been a lover and a perfect host But are you all that you seem to be? If someone's gotta be hurt, don't let it be me I just wanna be the first to know If this is real or a placebo If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow I just wanna be the first to know She was sharp as a guillotine She gobbled money like a fruit machine She asked me why but I couldn't explain I'd lie awake and just rattle my chains And I don't wanna see your ego swell Don't wear me like a pin on your lapel I'm too old to be your protégé I'm too young to be sleeping in the subway I just wanna be the first to know If this is real or a placebo If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow I just wanna be the first to know I just wanna be the first to know If this is real or a placebo If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow I just wanna be the first to know I just wanna be the first to know If this is real or a placebo If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow I just wanna be the first to know I just wanna be the first to know If this is real or a placebo If I'm a toy you may soon outgrow
