Dishonest Modesty Lyrics by Carly Simon

Dishonest Modesty Lyrics

    (carly simon/zach wiesner)

    You come on strong telling everyone
    About your latest role
    How you saved the movie, stole the show
    Well everybody knows
    And if you have no time for all your offers
    You'll see that i get called
    And if you have no time for all your men
    You'll see that i get balled

    Well i don't expect humility
    But what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty

    You say that you can understudy
    All the other parts
    You can write a song that will make us cry
    That touches all our hearts
    And you can house and garden
    Vogue and glamour, mademoiselle
    But i know you can bitch and screw
    And penthouse just aswell

    I don't expect humility
    But what about some good old dishonest modesty

    You try to be unique
    But somehow something's wrong
    'cause your flower childish vision of life
    Cannot last too long
    You're over thrity and underweight
    Though you call yourself petite
    And you hang around with all the clowns
    You think they're so elite

    Well i don't expect humility
    But what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty
