lyrics

Paper Tiger

He flexes his wallet, sweet talks to a crowd
A self-made man, unwaveringly proud
His promises are given in earnest,
They’re as good as a candle thrown into a furnace
He’s bright on the outside, but hollow on the inside
What looks like strength is quickly undone
But nothing like a pat on the back to stroke his ego
Watch out for this Tiger
Who’s only made of Paper

Promising love, but in the fine print: pain
Of course you’re never to blame
Don’t need your money, don’t need your shame
All she ever wanted
Was for you to stay honest
To keep your own promise
Instead you played your game

Flattery is given freely like the air
To get you to like him is this man’s affair
But when it’s not returned where he feels it’s due
The Big Friendly Giant turns into a monster
Comes home at 3AM from a “long night’s work”
Yes, partying every night can be really rough
A pity that you tore your hundred-dollar sweatshirt
You’ve proved your a Tiger
Who’s only made of Paper

Promising love, but in the fine print: pain
Of course you’re never to blame
Don’t need your money, don’t need your shame
All she ever wanted
Was for you to stay honest
To keep your own promise
Instead you played your game
