MAGIC'S IN THE MAKEUP
(G. Stefani, T. Dumont)
from the album Return of Saturn


First performed on No Doubt's secret show in London on February 28, 2000. There are two versions of this song: the version on the "Return of Saturn" promo sampler wasn't finished yet and so the album version is slighly different. This is the first song that was written for the new album.


Can you tell I'm faking it?
But
I want to be myself
A counterfit disposition
Can't be good
for my health
So many different faces
Depending on the different ph
ases
My personality changes
I'm a chameleon
There's more then one dimension
I can fool you and attract attention
Camouflage my nature
Let me demonstrate...

Makeup's all off
Who am I?
Magic's in the m
akeup
Who am I?

If you bore me then I'm comfortable
If you interest me I'm scared
My attraction paralyses me
N
o courage to show my true colors that exist
But I want to be the real thing
But if you catch my eye can't be authentic
The ones I loath
are the one's that know me the best

My makeup's all off
Who am I?
The magic's in the m
akeup
Who am I?

The makeup's all off
Who am I?
If  the magic's in the m
ake up
Then who am I?
Magic's in the m
akeup
But I want to
be the real thing
But the magic's in the m
akeup
And I want to
be the real thing

My makeup's all off
Who am I?
