yeah, mama and papa beat me
made me practice all day
i got big on the charts
got dragged to L.A.
then i spent some money
a surgeon took aim
now, look at my nose
it don't look the same

when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down
when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down

and after the fifty-third time
it was splitting on my face
i'm lacking a nose
after so much i paid
those damned plastic surgeons
have robbed all my cash
i make so much money
but i spend it so fast

when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down
when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down
get strange looks from my fans
i'll be hiding when i can
when the tip wears down

well, it exploded
when i sneezed
it left a hole
that was really deep
please fill it with meat
just plug up this hole
and i'll be so glad
to have back my nose

when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down
when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down
(yeah, go ahead...create a snout)

yeah, baby
when the tip wears down...when the tip wears down
(i've been wearing it down, i'll tell you)
get strange looks from my fans
i'll be hiding when i can
