I'm sick of hearing songs
About the boy who was ignored
And the girls that did him wrong
They said that he was shy
And they claimed he wasn't manly
Or how men made him cry
But now he's rich and famous
Such a pity ain't it
They missed the opportunity
To catch a rising star
And to me it seems obnoxious
Mister singer I am not just insecure
And now you're singing
Why'd they have to be so superficial
Now you wish they'd be more superficial
It seems so mean to me it's so artificial
So go and write your song just know that you're the superficial one
You're so superficial
Mr Folds can take a pass
But the doors were so damn angry
When they said to kiss his ass
You know I kiss some men myself
But little Ben can get away with shit that
Oh can nobody else
Oh was it for all the other losers
The beggars now the choosers
Who'd have thought that you would be the coolest kid in class
And you're laughing in their faces
Though the chance that they wasted
Cause the nice guys don't always finish last
And now you're singing
Why'd they have to be so superficial
Now you wish they'd be more superficial
It seems so mean to me it's so artificial
So go and write your song just know that you're the superficial one
You're so superficial
I just know that you're the superficial one
You're so superficial
Who are you to say that she's not better off
She could be married with some children to a doctor in vermont
And if you're thinking 'bout these girls
It's hypocritical
You're not out of their league if you're still stuck in their world
And if things for me go well
You know I thank those who have helped me
I won't punish no one else
Cause I don't need your damn regret
I might forgive I might forget
Cause I'm the bigger man
Except to maybe say go f**k yourself so
Why'd they have to be so superficial
Now you wish they'd be more superficial
It seems so mean to me it's so artificial
So go and write your song when it is you who is the superficial one
You're so superficial
When it's you who is the superficial one
You're so superficial
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Why'd they have to be
Why'd they have to be
Why'd they have to be
When it's you who is the superficial one
Why'd they have to be
But now you wish they'd be
Why'd they have to be
When it is you who is the superficial one
