Don't Shime Me On

Don’t Shine Me On

Say what you gotta say –
not what you think I hear.
Do what you gotta do –
instead of being sincere.
I don’t agree with everything –
makes nothing very clear.
Just want your honesty –
Your trust back into gear.

(refrain)
Don’t shine me on. (Don’t shine me on)
It doesn’t make me feel better –
Don’t shine me on. (Don’t shine me on)
You’re a liar to the letter.
Don’t shine me on. (Don’t shine me on)
I’m not a gullible fool.
Don’t shine me on.
What you’re doing isn’t cool.

Can’t trust a word you say ––
caught too many lies.
You cover up the obvious –
the rest, deceive, disguise.
Comes so natural, doesn’t it?
There’s nothing to deny.
You’re truly a chameleon –
the truth you customize.

(refrain)

Do you ever have remorse?
Are your dreams just doubletalk?
How can you live within the haze
when your words are full of crock?
Can you be real if you can’t feel
honesty of thought?

Can you be real if you can’t feel
honesty of thought?

(refrain)

Don’t shine me on. (Don’t shine me on)
Do you take me for a fool?
Don’t shine me on. (Don’t shine me on)
Don’t treat me like a tool.
Don’t shine me on. (Don’t shine me on)
What you’re doing isn’t cool.
