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

And 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 baby why so cold

I'm super sweet sealed with a kiss

Don't get offended if there's something you miss

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 could you spare me

I just got one side to show you all

My ass is awesome so smile when you're kissing it all

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 miss

I only show you what I want you to see

I got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek

If you seem 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 tongue 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
