The Benevolent Dictators - Impartial Spectator Lyrics

How am I to know if what I do is right or wrong
I'm seeking approbation from the need to get along
And to be lovely, but not just to be loved
Not only loved, but lovely in your eyes

Tell me how it seems from the outside looking in
I want to be worthy of your praise devoid of sin
And to be lovely, but not just to be loved
Not only loved, but lovely in your eyes
And to be lovely, but not just to be loved
Not only loved, but lovely in your eyes

The emptiness of fame when the public misconstrues
Fills me with anxiety, 'cuz you know it's not true
And to be lovely, but not just to be loved
Not only loved, but lovely in your eyes
And to be lovely, but not just to be loved
Not only loved, but lovely in your eyes
