Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be
  A prince in all of the magazines
  They'd have no words for the man I've seen
  Talk real fast 'fore they see your face
    And would they love you if they knew all the things we know
  We've got these images
  We need them to be true
  Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you
    [Chorus:]
  But then there're girls like me who sit appauled by what we've seen
  We know the truth about you
  Now you're the prince of all the magazines
  That is a dangerous thing
    But would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
  Those Golden Boys
  All a fraud don't believe their show
  Would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
    Golden Boy life ain't a video
    Place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man
  And you believe and play your cards
  Got dealt a winning hand
  Don't you get tired of the show
  The kissin' ass of all the people that you wanna know
    When I was young I thought you had it won
  I saw you on T.V. you made life look fun
  But then years go by and people grow
  I realize it's all a freak show
    [Chorus]
    Girls like me don't need no bubblin' mindstate thrown in my face
  The way you goin' ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
  Can't turn it back now baby you gone and past that line
  So give it on up now
  What you gonna do
    [Chorus]
