Sure Pinocchio
Sure Pinocchio: A Tale of Deception and Broken Promises
Lyrics
You told me you'd hold me
You promised to support me emotionally
Now I know better
I now understand the truth
All you did fold me honey
You betrayed me, dear
Like a dear John letter
You ended our relationship abruptly, like a goodbye letter from a soldier
You put me in a box
You confined me, possibly in a difficult situation
With God and his uncle
Comparing the confinement to being with influential figures
Like a pair of gym socks
Describing the confinement humorously
Lookin' like Artie Garfunkle
Referencing Art Garfunkel, perhaps indicating a disheveled appearance
You took my heart
You took away my love
The check's in the mail
A metaphorical statement, possibly about unfulfilled promises
We'll do lunch when you get out of jail
Suggesting a future meeting, despite a problematic situation
Sure Pinocchio
Reference to Pinocchio, indicating deception or falsehood
Anything you say
Agreeing sarcastically with the deception
Sure Pinocchio
Reiterating acceptance of lies
Have it your own way
Indicating compliance with the deceit
You took me for a ride
Being taken advantage of
Well, I'm crawling out of this gutter
Emerging from a difficult situation
You hurt me down inside
Feeling hurt internally
What was that you muttered
Questioning a mumbled statement
Somethin' bout wishing on a star
Reference to wishful thinking
for a fish out of water
Metaphorically identifying someone's true nature
Well, I know who you are
Identifying the deceptive person
Your Gepetto's wicked daughter
Linking to the deceptive character's origin
This hurts you more that it hurts me
Claiming the deceit hurts the deceiver more
You never inhale, yeah, and cops eat free
Mocking the deceiver's refusal to take responsibility
Sure Pinocchio
Repeating sarcastic agreement with deception
Anything you say
Continuing the sarcastic agreement
Sure Pinocchio
Reiterating compliance with lies
Have it your own way
Emphasizing acceptance of deception
Sure Pinocchio
Repeated affirmation of agreement with lies
What hurts me makes you stronger
Suggesting that the deceiver gains strength from causing pain
Sure Pinocchio
Highlighting the lengthening of the deceiver's metaphorical nose
That nose keeps gettin' longer and longer
Continuing to mock the deceiver's falsehoods
You took my heart
Repeating the loss of love
The check's in the mail
Reiterating a metaphorical promise
We'll do lunch when you get out of jail
Suggesting a future meeting despite difficulties
Sure Pinocchio
Agreeing with the deception once again
Anything you say
Reiterating compliance with lies
Sure Pinocchio
Emphasizing acceptance of deception
Have it your own way
Repeated affirmation of agreement with lies
Sure Pinocchio
Continuing sarcastic agreement with deception
Anything you say
Reiterating compliance with lies
Sure Pinocchio
Agreeing with the deceiver despite the growing falsehoods
That nose keeps gettin' longer and longer
Highlighting the continued deception with a growing nose
