The New Mendicants if you only knew her

(Know-it all) She’s not about one-upmanship
(Upper lip) She’s not about not breaking down
(Power trip) She’s not about you groveling on the ground
You’d grovel on the ground
(Pussy foot) She’s not about to hide her feelings
(Hissy fit) She’s not about a crisis feigned
(Full of shit) She’s not about to lie right to your face
Don’t lie right to her face
And all she asks is that you give to her in kind
If you only knew her
You would love her truly
Underneath her heavy spell she casts to make you love
You’ll never get above
(Pollyann) She’s not about to spin it happy
(Debbie Down) She’s not about a stringed organ
(Cruel Annette) She’s not about to play you off a friend
Don’t play her off a friend
And all she asks is that you give to her in kind
If you only knew her
You would love her truly
Underneath her heavy spell she casts to make you love
You’ll never get above
And if you get the chance to love her, love her hard
Cause you will never find a love so hard and true
And if you get the chance to love her, love her kind
Please don’t be cruel – she’s so much better than you
