I didn't mean to make you feel out of place
By the comments on your clothing or the makeup on your face
I didn't mean to preempt the chase
You're the drama queen of every scene perfectly out of place
So you cry yourself to sleep on your blanket of snow
With your tiara of Barbie doll heads and your arms crossed for a pillow
If you can't make up your mind just how different you should be
Reorganize your priorities to expect more sympathy
Only cynicism can get through to you
Expand the image, up the insults
Negativism through and through
All of this pretending makes me feel a bit confused
You've spent your life losing yourself
And now you're marked as used
So you cry yourself to sleep on your blanket of snow
With your tiara of Barbie doll heads and your arms crossed for a pillow
If you can't make up your mind just how different you should be
Reorganize your priorities to expect more sympathy
By the comments on your clothing or the makeup on your face
I didn't mean to preempt the chase
You're the drama queen of every scene perfectly out of place
So you cry yourself to sleep on your blanket of snow
With your tiara of Barbie doll heads and your arms crossed for a pillow
If you can't make up your mind just how different you should be
Reorganize your priorities to expect more sympathy
Only cynicism can get through to you
Expand the image, up the insults
Negativism through and through
All of this pretending makes me feel a bit confused
You've spent your life losing yourself
And now you're marked as used
So you cry yourself to sleep on your blanket of snow
With your tiara of Barbie doll heads and your arms crossed for a pillow
If you can't make up your mind just how different you should be
Reorganize your priorities to expect more sympathy

"You've spent your life losing yourself and now you're marked as used."
I'm not sure what the title has to do with it. 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' is a play by Edward Albee that has NOTHING to do with Virginia Woolf.
It's actually about a very fucked up couple. Here's an excerpt from the synopsis:
"In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives."
I don't know if any of that makes any kind of sense. Perhaps it is a comparison to the character Martha?
the song is a play on 'whose afraid of virginia woolf'
if youve read the play, the wife drunkenly sings "whose afraid of virginia woolf" to the tune of "whose afraid of the big bad wolf", which, according to Albee, the wolf, and what it, and Virginia Woolf represents is THE TRUTH (about life, relations, everything i suppose). i guess that means that MBD are saying they are afraid of someone who fears the truth...
