Ulterior Motive

Ulterior Motive

Can you say a word

Without an ulterior motive?

Everything you say

Is just an attempt to further your own goals.

You think I don’t see through it?

I know you better than you know yourself.

You think you will trick me?

You will never be smart enough to get one by me.

I see your lies

As clear as day.

You think you are so smart.

Like I haven’t seen all your tactics before.

I don’t buy anything you say for a second.

If you want to try and lull me into a false sense of security

You might want to try your hand out with someone else first.

I’ve seen it all.

Grown up in a world of lies and manipulation.

There is nothing you can try

That I haven’t seen a thousand times before.

Your weak attempts make me laugh

Trying to pretend it’s something else.

Your stupid smirk

Gives you away every time.

I can read you like a book

I know what you will say before you do.

Don’t be so stupid.

Don’t be such a fool.

I always see your ulterior motives.
