I Know Because You Told Me So

Can’t you see them look at me as I walk into the room?
Why does everybody look at me? Do I outshine the Sun and Moon?
All of this you say to me, as if you really didn’t know
But I know because you told me so

From the pharaohs of antiquity to the zulu kings of old
The most golden of a family tree twas to you no doubt bestowed
This message you relay to me bashful irony in tow
But I know because you told me so

Maybe I'm dumb and blind of the line
Between the acts of true self-love or self-adulation
Too long on the other side of that wall
I’ve been, in my chamber of self-depreciation

Can’t you see them look at me?
A thousand eyes can never lie
I'm a single batch variety
None more different than I
All of this you say to me
Like you alone had broke the mold
But I know because you told me so
