Don't take them faces at their value in a cynical town
Yeah, can 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
No, 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 (you see them laughing)
Don't follow in
Cause they're not part 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, my family's so 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 see them laughing (you see them laughing)
Don't follow in
Cause they're not part 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

I only show you what I want you to see
I got my tongue, tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing (you see them laughing)
Don't follow in
Cause they're not part 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
