The Art Of Social Climbing

"You fucking social climber"

[Intro]

Aw, look at that…

She likes me. …

Wait.

No she doesn’t.

[Verse 1] You showed up smiling like an innocent dream Laughing at my jokes like they were actually funny Started asking questions about what I do these days Funny how the topic always drifted back to money

You said you liked ambition Said you loved a man with drive Funny how your interest doubled When you found out I was doing alright

I should’ve seen it coming Should’ve spotted every sign But damn, you played the sweetheart role Almost had me fooled this time

[Pre-Chorus] Just when I thought I had my game back

Turns out you were studying My fucking paycheck

[Chorus] You fucking social climber Innocent-looking little bitch

Just when I thought I found somebody You thought I might be fucking rich

You weren’t chasing me You were chasing what I own

The funny thing is If you’d asked honestly

I’d have shown you anyway

[Verse 2] Funny how you loved my stories Funny how you loved my plans

Funny how you loved my future Way more than who I actually am

The compliments came easy The affection came on cue

Looking back now every conversation Sounded like a damn job interview

“Oh wow, that’s impressive”

“Really? Tell me more”

Meanwhile I’m standing there Like an idiot opening every door

[Pre-Chorus] I thought it was chemistry Turns out it was market research

[Chorus] You fucking social climber Innocent-looking little bitch

Just when I thought I found somebody You thought I might be fucking rich

You smiled for the spotlight You smiled for the ride

But somewhere in that perfect smile There was nowhere left to hide

[Bridge] Maybe I’m bitter Maybe I’m wrong Maybe you really liked me all along

But Fuck!

You asked about investments On the second date.

Who the fuck does that?

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]

You fucking social climber Innocent-looking little bitch

I almost bought the fairy tale Before I noticed the pitch

You wanted the image You wanted the status

You wanted the story

You just forgot one thing

The story was about me Not the stuff around me

[Outro] Good luck finding Whatever it is you’re climbing toward And tell the next guy His portfolio says hello … Nice try.
