Dishonest Modesty Lyrics - Carly Simon

You come on strong telling everyone 

About your latest role 

How you saved the movie, stole the show 

Well everybody knows 

And if you have no time for all your offers 

You'll see that I get called 

And if you have no time for all your men 

You'll see that I get balled 

Well I don't expect humility 

But what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty

You say that you can understudy 

All the other parts 

You can write a song that will make us cry 

that touches all our hearts 

And you can House and Garden 

Vogue and Glamour, Mademoiselle 

But I know you can Bitch and Screw 

And Penthouse just aswell 

I don't expect humility 

But what about some good old dishonest modesty 

Photos 

You try to be unique 

But somehow something's wrong 

'Cause your flower childish vision of life 

Cannot last too long 

You're over thrity and underweight 

Though you call yourself petite 

And you hang around with all the clowns 

You think they're so elite 

Well I don't expect humility 

But what about some good old fashioned dishonest modesty
