I watched "The Red Shoes" I went to the opera Two galleries a week I gave up smoking Started learning Italian I stopped seeing my friends I changed my politics Went to poetry readings Stopped eating certain foods I cut my hair short I had it darkened I watched your favourite soap I watched the films you love But they all seem so slow I don't know I learned of your religion The five books of Moses And Mosha Diane I considered converting (Ah-ha) The circumcision It put me off a bit No milk with meat No meat with milk In your dietry laws I invented someone I invented someone I invented someone
You always said that Men always pushed you They always pushed you for sex So I pretended (Ah-ha) That was purely surface It didn't matter to me I'm lying on the floor Doing sit-ups in the morning light I invented someone I invented someone
The ideal man I shaped myself Into someone you really want Until you warmed to me I invented someone And once I'd won you totally I gradually changed back to me 'Cause you see I invented someone I invented someone
