You're Not in on the Joke

Don’t take them faces at their value
in a cynical town
Can’t you smell the stale air?
I had no skill but i had heart
so then I turned it around
So just remember:
I’m no cynic, you know I’m just getting bored
I’m no cynic; you know I got a heart of gold
They say I’m cold
cold
cold
Oh 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 got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing
Don’t follow in
Cause they’re the butt 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
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, can you spare me?
I’ve got just one side to show you all:
My ass is awesome
so smile when you’re kissing it
They say I’m cold
cold
cold
Gabey baby you 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 got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing
Don’t follow in
Cause they’re the butt 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
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 me
No, oh, no, oh
I only show you what I want you to see
I got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing
Don’t follow in
Cause they’re the butt 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
