lyrics

They’re walking lockstep, pretty flowers in hand
You’re wearing sunshine, the world is at your command
It's everything you used to tell me that you can’t understand

The paparazzi is making love to the scene
We used to laugh at what it all really means
But then the clock ticked and you started reading bad magazines

Do you do you do you need a megaphone
To tell the boys and girls that you’re in love? Come on!
It’s show and tell and you don’t need it
It’s show and tell but you can’t beat it
Do you do you do you need a megaphone
To tell the boys and girls that you’re in love?
Come on!

So make a toast to your perfect world and your health
You know my lunch won’t go and throw up itself
And if you need me, well I’ll be thumbing through the books on my shelf

And find the note you wrote to me as a girl
When you were wild-eyed and busy saving the world
You told me love’s more than competition and ambition and pearls

Do you do you do you need a megaphone
To tell the boys and girls that you’re in love? Come on!
It’s show and tell and you don’t need it
It’s show and tell but you can’t beat it
Do you do you do you need a megaphone
To tell the boys and girls that you’re in love?
Come on!

‘Cause I don’t care
Yeah, I don’t care

Do you do you do you really want me back?
Is that the way a lady is supposed to act?
It’s show and tell and we don’t need it
It’s show and tell but we can’t beat it, baby

Now I now I now I need a megaphone
To tell the boys and girls that we’re in love
Come on!
