How do you manage to be so loved by everyone?
I'd love you to show me your secret
Though I think I can guess where you keep it
And it may sound kind of funny
But I really thought I was the one
Suppose I'd better back out now
And leave you to your fun

Welcome to the world of the charity case
Don't get too close or you might dirty your face
Oh - but you're not gonna like what you see
You might even be a little unhappy
Though I know it won't last for long
About as long as your average song

How do you manage to be so loved by everyone?
Do you use some kind of potion
That twists people's emotions?
And it may sound kind of funny
But I really thought I was the one
Seems I'm not the only person
To get the picture wrong

Welcome to the world of the charity case
I should call you a cab 'cause it's not your place
Yes the flowers and the dresses are more your scene
Your heart's too rich if you see what I mean
But I'm not gonna tease for long
Not quite as long as your average song
