More songs by Courtney Marie Andrews
Description
A voice that seems to encourage you to stand tall and laugh loudly in the middle of a noisy square. A little bold, a little theatrical - but with sincere support. This isn't about “fitting in with the world,” but about picking up a guitar, shouting out your truth, and not letting anyone knock you off that rhythm. The world and truth are full of clowns and charlatans, but music is more honest than any words - especially when it comes from within, without embellishment.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Don't make yourself small, baby, take up space
I always wanna hear what you have to say
Close the curtain, say your confession
My lips are sealed at your discretion
It's a scary world full of cons and clowns
Lot of bad people who will tear you down
Not me, no way
Only wanna hear you play
Not me, no way
Only wanna hear you play
Give me one good reason not to speak
Hollywood forever, no wannabes
Play me that song your daddy loved
Ride that bird into the sun
It's a scary world full of cons and clowns
Lot of bad people who will tear you down
Not me, no way
Only wanna hear you play
Not me, no way
Only wanna hear you play
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Lavender, a stranger's garden
Morning breath, kissing on the carpet
Paint your chest to the sound of Debussy
If only you could see the magic I see
It's a scary world full of cons and clowns
Lot of bad people who will tear you down
Not me, no way
Only wanna hear you play
Not me, no way (ah)
Only wanna hear you play
Not me, no way (ah)
Only wanna hear you play
Not me, no way (ah)
Only wanna hear you play
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
