Dishonest Modesty

Dishonest Modesty (LP版) - Carly Simon

Written by：Ted Templeton

You come on strong

Telling everyone

About your latest role

How you saved the movie

Stole the show

So you been tow

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 dishonest modesty

You say that you can understudy

All the other parts

That 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 bit and screw

Penthouse

Just as well

Now I don't expect humility

But what about some good

Old dishonest modesty

You try to be unique

But somehow something's wrong

Your flower childish vision of life

Cannot last too long

Well you're over thrity and underweight

Though you call yourself petite

And you hang around

With all the clowns

Think they're so elite

Well I don't expect humility

But what about some good

Old dishonest modesty

Hmmm

Well I don't expect humility

But what about some good

Old dishonest modesty

Well I don't expect humility

But what about some good

Old dishonest modesty

Ah ha ah ha ah ha

Ah ha ah ha ah ha haaaa
