[Verse 1] You slide in late That borrowed grin Talk real big ‘Bout the places you’ve been Your hair’s just right Your shoes all shine But I keep waiting For a thought in your mind (mm-hmm) [Chorus] You’re shallow Baby you’re shallow (so shallow) Wide as an ocean in a fashion mag photo You’re shallow Pretty little puddle I step right over when you start your trouble You’re shallow Darlin’ you’re shallow Skimming on the surface like a stone I throw [Verse 2] You name-drop twice Per every breath Flex that wrist Check your text to death You say “I’m deep” Then spell it wrong I just stir my drink Turn your brag to a song (oh yeah) [Chorus] You’re shallow Baby you’re shallow (hey!) All that decoration Not a lot below You’re shallow Glossy like a window See straight through you when the lights get low You’re shallow Sugar You’re shallow Echo in an empty little chateau [Bridge] [Instrumental break – thick SG guitar riff over climbing horn line Crowd shouts and handclaps] [Verse 3] You lean in close Practice pose Ask me “Girl What’s your favorite quote?” I say “This one” Watch you blink “It’s the part Where I get up and leave” (bye now) [Chorus] You’re shallow Baby you’re shallow (so shallow) Tried to dive in But my toes said “no” You’re shallow Cute but kinda hollow All talk Small talk Nothing I can swallow You’re shallow Honey You’re shallow Skippin’ on the surface Never down below [Outro] [Band drops to bass Brushes And guitar; muted horns chuckle in the background] You’re shallow Ooh You’re shallow Blow a little kiss Then I gotta go (mwah)
