When we first met she seemed perfectly normal…
I never dreamed she’d make my life so hard
You see, my baby, she started to change…
Started lookin’ kinda strange
Wearin’ all that white makeup and those black leotards
Well, I guess she kept her little secret pretty well
Now, ever since I learned the horrible truth, you know my life has been a livin’ hell!
That’s right, you see…
She never told me she was a mime!
She never told me she was a mime, oh no!
Actin’ like she’s trapped inside a big glass box all the time
She never told me, she never told me she was a…
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime!
I wish we both could just talk it all over…
But my baby won’t even make a sound
And now she makes everybody sick
Doin’ that pantomime shtick
Even our old friends have stopped comin’ around
Well, my parents can’t stand her and our neighbors hate her guts
She’s really, really embarrassing me; this silent treatment’s driving me nuts!
You see…
She never told me she was a mime!
She never told me she was a mime, oh no!
Now she’s actin’ like she’s trapped inside a big glass box all the time… what a crime
She never told me (she never told me) she never told me she was a… miiiiiime!
She walks against the wind in everywhere we go…
Stops at every corner, gotta put on a show…
Carries ’round a picture of Marcel Marceau…
Always was the quiet type, but how was I to know?!
She never told me she was a mime!
She never told me she was a mime, oh no!
Actin’ like she’s trapped inside a big glass box all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yime
She never told me, she never told me she was a mime!
She never told me, she never told me
She never, she never told me she was a mime
She never told me, she never told me
She never, she never told me she was a mime
She never told me (she never told me), she never told me (she never told me)
She never, she never told me she was a mime
She never told me (she never told me), she never told me (she never told me)
She never, she never told me she was a mime!
She was a mime, she was a mime
She was a…
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime!
