Taking in the party

He put me down for awhile

100 watts of ambition

Springing off his smile

His lips looked set to kiss me

But he closed up like a fist

He's got a fortune in charm

And makes a gift out of empty, empty arms

Well, I was sold, I was sold, no one had to convince me

Bending over backwards

I watched the light burn out

His excuses fell like diamonds

Brilliant, cutting, lost and found

He's got a fortune in charm

And makes a gift out of empty, empty arms

Oh, I was sold, I was sold, no one had to convince me

(Don't believe it)

(Believe it)

[Instrumental break]

I was sold, I was sold, no one had to convince me
