Don't take them faces at their value in a cynical town
Yeah, can't you smell the stale air?
I had no skill but I had heart so then I turned it around
Just remember
I'm no cynic, you know I'm just get bored
I'm no cynic; no, I got a heart of gold
They say I'm cold, cold, cold
Baby why so cold?
I'm super-sweet sealed with a kiss
Don't get offended if there's something you missed
I only show you what I want you to see
I've got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing
Don't follow in
Cause they're not part of my joke
I'll always be just who you want me to be,
and keep my t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
A hopeless romantic
You'll never see,
Cause you're not in on the joke
I got my picture in the paper and my parents were proud,
"Hey kid, that's not a bad job" yeah
Next thing you know, peculiar faces start hanging around
Dear lord could you spare me?
I just got one side to show you all
My ass is awesome, so smile
When you're kissing it off
Oh, oh
They say I'm cold, cold, cold,
Baby why so cold?
I'm super sweet sealed with a kiss
Call your professor if there's something you missed
I only show you what I want you to see
I've got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing (you see them laughing)
Don't follow in
Cause they're not part of my joke
I'll always be just what you want me to be
And keep my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
A hopeless romantic
You'll never see
Cause you're not in on the joke
No you don't know
(you don't know me)
No you don't know
(you don't know me)
No you don't know
(meeeee)
I only show you what I want you to see
I've got my tongue, tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing
Don't follow hand, cause they're not part of my joke
I'll always be just who you want me to be
and keep my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
A hopeless romantic,
You'll never see
Cause you're not in on the joke
