Lyrics Weird Al Yankovic – She Never Told Me She Was A Mime

When we first met she seemed perfectly normal
I never dreamed she’d make my life so hard
You see, my baby, she started to change
Started lookin’ kinda strange

She never told me she was a mime
She never told me she was a mime, oh no
Actin’ like she’s trapped inside a big glass box all the time
She never told me, she never told me she was a…
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime

I wish we both could just talk it all over
But my baby won’t even make a sound
Now she makes everybody sick
Doin’ that pantomime shtick
Even our old friends have stopped coming around
Well, my parents can’t stand her and our neighbors hate her guts
She’s really, really embarrassing me… this silent treatment’s driving me nuts
You see…

She never told me she was a mime
She never told me she was a mime, oh no
Now she’s actin’ like she’s trapped inside a big glass box all the time… what a crime
She never told me (she never told me) she never told me she was a mime

She walks against the wind everywhere we go
Stops at every corner, gotta put on a show
Carries ’round a picture of Marcel Marceau
Always the wuiet type, but how was I know to know?

She never told me she was a mime
