[Intro] x2 [Verse] 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 Wearin’ all that white makeup and those black leotards Well I guess she kept her little secret pretty well Now ever since I learned the horrible truth you know my life has been a living hell that’s right you see [Chorus] 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 whe was a... Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime [Interlude] x2 [Verse] 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... [Chorus] 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 ... what a crime She never told me (she never told me) she never told me she was a mime [Bridge] 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 quiet type but how was I to know? [Solo] x2 [Chorus] 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 ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yime She never told me she never told me whe was a mime [Interlude] x2 [Outro] She never told me she never told me She never she never told me she was a mime She never told me she never told me She never she never told me she was a mime She never told me she never told me she never told me she never told me She never she never told me she was a mime She never told me she never told me she never told me she never told me She never she never told me she was a mime She was mime she was mime she was Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui découvre que sa partenaire est en réalité une mime, un secret qu’elle a gardé caché. Au début, tout semblait normal, mais peu à peu, son comportement étrange commence à affecter leur relation. Elle ne communique plus de manière conventionnelle, se limitant à des gestes et des mimiques, ce qui rend la vie quotidienne de plus en plus difficile pour lui. Les amis et la famille ne comprennent pas son choix de vie silencieux, et l’homme se sent de plus en plus isolé et embarrassé par cette situation. Dans ce contexte, la chanson joue sur l'absurdité d'une telle révélation et illustre les défis que peuvent provoquer des incompatibilités dans une relation, même celles qui semblent simplement drôles au départ. C’est un mélange de comédie et de frustration face à un amour qui ne peut plus s’exprimer librement.
