In social situations
I can tell you what to do
Join a conversation
And act as if you knew
Make the rounds, say hello
shake a few hands
Smile, wave, give a nod
But make no demands
Avoid the temptation to share
Discretion is a must
The people that you meet
Aren't people you can trust
Don't believe you can say
What's really on your mind
They'll smile to your face
But after they won't be kind
Go along with the show
Put on your best face
This is a game you can win
It's a game you can ace
Forget about your need
To make a connection
To love and be loved
Is simply out of the question
It's an unfriendly competition
To see who can get ahead
In riches, fame or esteem
This is the secret left unsaid
