Everything Else Is Drama

I stare at people and know
exactly what they're thinking, 
a good mind reader needs no guessing;
everything else is simply drama,
find it in a movie, find it in a soap opera.

No, Oscar is waiting;
no red carpet, no smiles! 
Oh, keep on dreaming,
someone will be laughing,
it's revenge for all the lies!

I could never be Leonardo di Caprio,
not as young and quite handsome as he is;
I'm a humble and sincere Aquarius, 
you are an ambitious and dramatic Leo:
these are different signs 
of two conflicting minds!
And should you wish for my kiss
on the Titanic' deck to taste bliss,
it would be a betrayal of my ideals! 

Drama, everything else is drama and vanity,
I declare to be nothing out of the extraordinary,
just an ordinary guy looking for a perfect lady
who never stops pursuing love and money!
