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 noone ... 
 - Yeah, to noone.. 
 - '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 1/2 
    - 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 
 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 1/2 
 - On my behalf 
 There's something inside me and I know it's good... 
 But understanding, it's misunderstood 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2   
 - 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 
 There's something inside me and I know it's good.. 
 But understanding, it's misunderstood 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2   
 - On my behalf 
 There's something inside me and I know it's good 
 But understanding, it's misunderstood 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2. 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2.. 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2... 
 At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2....
