lyrics

Hello I'm your greatest fan, I'm glad to be your friend
I'll lay my life down in your name, defend you till the end
But please don't be misguided by my loyalty and charm
Because you've got something that I want and I mean you harm

It's not that I am jealous or unhappy with my lot
Maybe I'm a collector, trying to fill a slot
So that's why I tread lightly, I don't want to cause alarm
But you were just a stepping stone and I mean you harm

With half as big a head and twice as big a brain
My actions wouldn't surprise you
But still you go on trusting me of making me despise you

Now it might seem disloyal to treat you as I do
To go on in this manner and still face up to you
But I'm the prince of the poker face, the king of keeping calm
But what you've got is what I want and I mean you harm

With half as big a head and twice as big a brain
My actions wouldn't surprise you
But still you go on trusting me of making me despise you
But you won't be aware of my campaign; I wouldn't want to annoy you
No I won't interfere with your routine as I set out to destroy you

Yes I'm the prince of the poker face, the king of keeping calm
And what you've got is what I want and I mean you harm
