[Intro]
A E D E A
[Verse 1]
A E D E A
I've been contemplating suicide
A E D E A
But it really doesn't suit my style
A E D E A
So I think I'll just act bored instead
A E D E A
And contain the blood I would've shed?
[Pre-Chorus]
A E D E A
She makes me feel so ill at ease
A E D E A
My heart is really on it's knees
A E D E A
But i keep a poker face so well
A E D E A
That even mother couldn't tell
[Chorus]
A E D E A
But my baby's so vain
A E D E A
She is almost a mirror
A E D E A
And the sound of her name
A E D E A
Sends a permanent shiver down my
A E D E A
Spiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiyiyi-ine
A E D E A
iii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiyiyi-ine
[Verse 2]
A E D E A
I keep her photograph against my heart
A E D E A
For in my life she plays a starring part
A E D E A
All alcohol and cigarettes
A E D E A
There is no room for cheap regrets
A E D E A
[Pre-Chorus]
A E D E A
She makes me feel so ill at ease
A E D E A
My heart is really on it's knees
A E D E A
But i keep a poker face so well

But my baby's so vain
