No Good Actress

You’re no good actress
Led from the backstage
You’re no good actress no, oh no.

You put your hands out when you fall
And hope no one sees it.
Say you’re waiting on a call
And still no one beeps in.
We both know you’re gonna return
When you run, run away.
But I fall all the time, and beg you not to go.

You got all the talent, but no audience except for me.
You’re no good actress
Led from the backstage
You’re no good actress no, oh no.

Another day in the same role.
You find home in regress.
So you may be on your lines,
But you’re off the deep end.
I won’t have you make a choice
So I don’t confuse you.
But I detect it in your void,
And I know you don’t go slow.

When you’re all wrapped up in your romantic world, do you relate?
You’re no good actress
Led from the backstage
You’re no good actress no, oh no
You’re no good actress
Lines in the taxi.
You’re no good actress no, oh no

I’ve got time to waste if you’ve got time to kill.
Your style and grace makes me go oh, oh
When you get tired of using all your lines on me
You know Hollywood waits.
