[Verse 1]
Back with a vengeance much in vogue
My friend, the harlequin, the rogue
Befriending the meek
His tongue tucked firmly in his cheek

[Chorus]
You better come clean
How could anybody be so mean?
You better come clean
I will not be a party to your scheme

[Verse 2]
Admit that I was misinformed
To wit I'm lost and all forlorn
I'm tattered and torn
Too tired to see how sick you've grown

[Chorus]
You better come clean
How could anybody be so mean?
You better come clean
I will not be a party to your scheme

[Refrain]
Poor old soul
Poor old soul
[Chorus]
You better come clean
How could anybody be so mean?
You better come clean
I will not be a party to your scheme

[Outro]
Come clean
I will not be a party to your scheme
I mean
The things you do just make me want to scream
