The Poseur - The Kinks

The Poseur’s in town

The Poseur’s around

Hey, it don’t bother me,

But there’s a guy eyein’you

He’s watched you all night and he’s looked you all over

He got his eye on you

But don’t act like you’re surprised

Because that smooth-looking guy’s undressing you with his eyes

Look at him look you over

He thinks he can win you over

He’ll flirt for a while, make passes and smile at you

But he’ll never come over

'Cause he’s just a poseur

Who thinks he’s a Cassonova

That dude standing over there

He thinks he really looks cool

The ladies think he looks smooth

But he’s rehearsed every move

He stands in front of the mirror all day

Now he’s on display and he’s so well routined

We’ve all come here to dance but he’s just here to be seen

Look at him bossa nova

Look at him move and sway

But he’s been practicing days to make his hair fall a certain way

But he’ll never come over

'Cause he’s just a poseur

Who thinks he’s a Casanova

Look at him bossa nova, yeah

The Poseur’s in town

Yeah
