You're Not In On The Joke

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

I'm no cynic, you know I got a heart of gold, oh-oh, oh-woah

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

[Chorus]

I only show you what I want you to see

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

If you see them laughing (If you see them laughing)

Then 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-tongue in my cheek

A hopeless romantic (A hopeless romantic)

You'll never see, 'cause you're not in on the joke

[Verse 2]

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?

[Pre-Chorus]

I've got just one side to show you all

My ass is awesome, so smile when you're kissing it, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

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

[Chorus]

I only show you what I want you to see

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

If you see them laughing (If you see them laughing)

Then 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-tongue in my cheek

A hopeless romantic (A hopeless romantic)

You'll never see, 'cause you're not in on the joke

[Bridge]

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-oh, no, oh-oh

I only show you what I want you to see

I got my tongue, tongue in my cheek

[Chorus]

If you see them laughing (If you see them laughing)

Then 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-tongue in my cheek

A hopeless romantic (A hopeless romantic)

You'll never see, 'cause you're not in on the joke
