Vanessa Carlton
Salesman
[Verse 1]
You were looking for a partner
Shelter from the cold
He led you to his prism
A prison made of gold
Now you have a baby
She's looking up at you
And you will try to conceal what she sees
But you can never hide the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you’re praying on your knees
Mirror, mirror do you like it?
Do you like what you see?

[Chorus]
Oh, handsome salesman, sold you heaven
Now you wait for it to fall
Until then you will surrender it all

[Verse 2]
He kisses you goodnight
He's dressed for someone else
He says to you, "Honey, don’t you wait up"
And you wake up by yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you’re praying, back on your knees
Mirror, mirror give me the strength
The strength to believe

[Chorus]
Oh, handsome salesman, sold you heaven
Now you wait for it to fall
Until then you will surrender it all

[Bridge]
Do what I say, not what I do
What have I done?
Do what I say, not what I do
What have I done?
Do what I say, not what I do
What have I done?
Do what I say, not what I do

[Chorus]
Ooh, handsome salesman, sold you heaven
Now you wait for it to fall
Until then you’ll surrender it all
You will surrender it all
You will surrender
You will surrender
You will surrender
You will surrender
