Funny Lyrics:

"Givin' Yourself Away"
The Funny Lyrics:
Hey! You're givin' yourself away
It's there in every move you make Hey! It's something you don't have to say
It's written in the tears on your face
I see through the part that you play
Why They're Funny:
Before I heard this song init's entirety, I thought it was about a prostitute. Once I heard it though...I mean, for one, you don't hear too many power ballads about whores, and also, it becomes apparant that the song is really about someone trying unsuccessfully to hide their feelings. But then again...maybe the prostitute fell in love...
