Don't Mean a Thing

You really think that innocence

Is just a word

When you smile at me it seems

So absurd

You’re so full of ambition

Pride and desire

If I told you it’s all meaningless

Would you call me a liar

And it don’t mean a thing

Record company mogul

Queuing in your room

Makes you so excited

It makes you swoon

You trip the light fantastic

And think you are the Queen

Then somebody tells you

That you can’t even sing

And it don’t mean a thing

I’ll miss you like a matchbox

That’s gone off in my face

Lost your marbles long ago

Now you’re off in space

The prison wardens ghetto blaster

Is making quite a noise

Well the day you lost everything

You lost your equipoise

And it don’t mean a thing

And it don’t mean a thing
