I watched "The Red Shoes"
I went to the opera
Two galleries a week
I gave up smoking
Started learning Italian
I stopped seeing my friends
I changed my politics
Went to poetry readings
Stopped eating certain foods
I cut my hair short
I had it darkened
I watched your favourite soap
I watched the films you love
But they all seem so slow
I don't know
I learned of your religion
The five books of Moses
And Mosha Diane
I considered converting (Ah-ha)
The circumcision
It put me off a bit
No milk with meat
No meat with milk
In your dietry laws
I invented someone
I invented someone
I invented someone
You always said that
Men always pushed you
They always pushed you for sex
So I pretended (Ah-ha)
That was purely surface
It didn't matter to me
I'm lying on the floor
Doing sit-ups in the morning light
I invented someone
I invented someone
The ideal man
I shaped myself
Into someone you really want
Until you warmed to me
I invented someone
And once I'd won you totally
I gradually changed back to me
'Cause you see
I invented someone
I invented someone
