Lyrics:
/Iris
I like to think my heart is just a muscle A muscle that I’ve learned to control I figured, hell, one harmless midnight tussle With you would rest quite easy on my soul / Now I see you’re a tres, tres goddamn charmer An actress is taught to be cool BUT Who am I trying to fool?
/ Paperman
I’d like to toast your firm determination
But human nature’s got the best of me
I’ve never forced myself upon a lady
/ Iris
You’re about as subtle as artillery
/ Paperman
I’ve been here before and I have to
Admit that I can’t keep my cool
/
Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
/ Paperman
Don’t look for me to be your savior
/ Iris
No good can come from this behavior
/ Sheila
This ain’t no mystery, look at our history
It’s just another wild Caribbean night
The rum and drums just bring out what’s in us
Temptation’s been here since that very first bite
Who are they tryin’ to fool?
Who are they tryin’ to fool?
They should forget it, they’ll both regret it
He wants a push, she needs a shove
He’s got a good wife, she hides a dark life
Fuel for combustion anger and love
Who are they tryin’ to fool?
Who are they tryin’ to fool?
Who are they tryin’ to fool?
/ Paperman
Life is for most of us one long postponement
/ Iris
If we think too much I guess we’ll miss our chance
/ Paperman
It’s our time, our night, our island, not our future
/ Iris
It’s not the whole tamale, just one dance
/ Duet
So Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Let’s break all of those goddamn Kinja rules
