Lyrics
Provocative and bold, yet sometimes shy
She?s leather or lace, She?s hard to classify
She?s tough as nails, then sweet as pie, contradiction personified
Who is it I in your eyes
Chameleon
CHORUS
Chameleon, do you know who you are?
Chameleon, you?re taking this too far
Your colors change to fit right in
To any scene that you?re put in
Is fitting in like oxygen
Chameleon
Complex, I guess, yet simple as it comes
She claims her need for knowledge is how this thing had all begun
She says, ?You got to get inside their skin to comprehend the soul within?
It?s all a means to an end
Chameleon, do you know who you are?
Chameleon, are you taking this too far
Your colors change to fit right in
To any scene that you?re put in
Once immersed, can you surface again
Chameleon
BRIDGE
The changes she?s making is to understand
The innermost feelings of her fellow man
Chameleon, let your true colors shine
Chameleon, let your heart be your guide
Yeah, you change to fit right in
To any scene that you?re put in
How cool is that to do, my friend
Chameleon
