You’re Not In on the Joke

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
So just remember:

I'm no cynic,
you know I'm just getting bored
I'm no cynic,
u 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 missed

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

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 just got one side to show you all:
My ass is awesome
So smile when you're kissing it all (ah ah)

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 missed

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 tonge, 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
