VERSE 1
Jump back!
You're skiddin' off the right track!
Or is it trouble that you're after?
You're flirtin' with disaster!
Jump back!
You know the way the deck's stacked!
Behind the music and the laughter
There isn't anyone!

VERSE 2
Hold tight!
I'll go and get a spotlight!
The way ya double-cross your wires
Attention takes you higher!
Hold tight!
It's gonna be a long night!
The club is full of dirty liars
Blowin' kisses, "Sayonara!"

BRIDGE
You swim among the sharks
You're guaranteed to drown!
Their light's so close to dark
They're gonna bring you down!

CHORUS
Face it, baby, you're wasted
And to the world, you're gonna be
A scandal in a miniskirt!
Fight it, try and deny it
Or what ya get is what I see
A scandal in a miniskirt!

VERSE 3
Move on
Before your chance is all gone!
Forget about a glossy cover
Showing you with thirty lovers!
Move on!
Remember where ya went wrong!
Retreat until you're feeling stronger
And then come back again!

VERSE 4
U-turn!
You're speedin' up a slow burn!
Too late I'm bettin' you'll be learnin'
What a rep it is you're earnin'!
U-turn!
Become the girl that you were!
Survivin' this is close to murder!
Are you gonna pull the trigger?

You swim among the sharks
You're guaranteed to drown!
Their light's so close to dark
They're gonna bring you down!

Face it, baby, you're wasted
And to the world, you're gonna be
A scandal in a miniskirt!
Fight it, try and deny it
Or what ya get is what I see
A scandal in a miniskirt!

MIDDLE 8
A scandal in a mini-miniskirt!
Ya wear your desperation on your shirt!
Everybody's tellin' stories!
(You can make them stop!)
Can't afford to just ignore it!
(Make illusions pop!)
Don't ya see you're only gettin' hurt?

Face it, baby, you're wasted
And to the world, you're gonna be
A scandal in a miniskirt!
Fight it, try and deny it
Or what ya get is what I see
A scandal in a miniskirt!
