lyrics

Don't Flatter Yourself

I see that you're at it again
So when will you ever say when
It seems that you can't take a hint
Like somebody offers a mint
I think we know how this will end
I don't see a break in the trend
It's something I cannot defend
But you never did learn how to bend

Don't Flatter Yourself

I hate to burst your bubble, it is one huge bubble
That's in need of popping
You have caused such trouble, All this causing trouble
It's time to be stopping
Do you know what is true, Can you tell what it true?
Are you a denier?
Maybe no one told you, Someone never told you
What you sell has no buyer

Don't flatter Yourself, Don't flatter Yourself
What gave you the big idea
That you're playing what they want to hear?

You must have a huge pair, I must say a huge pair
To try what you are trying
And a brashness so rare, a brashness that is so rare
To eye what you are eyeing

Don't flatter yourself, Don't flatter yourself
What gave you the big idea
That you're saying what they want to hear?

You are not the first choice
And not the third one
Can you hear your own voice?
It's no assured one

Don't Flatter Yourself

Each time John Dunbar put out a new solo album he first played it for his close friend, and fave drummer, Sal Nunziato, He always hoped Sal would ask to play on the next record. Each time Sal heard a new Dunbar record, he wondered why he was never asked to play on it. They both always dreamed of playing with mutual friend, Sal Maida. After the unspoken was spoken, The John Sally Ride was formed. ... more
