I learned politeness on my mother's knee
 
 I learned by uprightness my number of friends
 
 Should increase
 
  
  When I think about the things I've done
 
 I laugh out loud to no one
 
 Yeah, to no one
  
 
 'Coz it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
 
 When I try to open up my heart
 
 There's something inside me'n'I know it's good
 
 But understanding, it's misunderstood
 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half
  
 
 But I became honest Mr. Mistaken
 
 In spite of the curves my smile was makin'
 
 Bumpers and kickers in one big stream
 
 I grew up in a life size pinball machine!
 
 Yeah! - They're mean!.
  
 
 'Coz it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see

 There's something inside me'n'I know it's good
 
 But understanding, it's misunderstood
 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half
  
 
 On my behalf
 
 There's something inside me'n'I know it's good
 
 But understanding, it's misunderstood
 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half
  
 
 I tried to fill some silence
 
 'Coz the silence feels so long
  
 
 I knew the ice was gettin' thinner
 
 But I kept skating on!
 
 My mother threw me into this world as a winner
 
 But by the light of the yellow beer
 
 They tell the jokes I'll never get to hear!!
 
 On my behalf
