Lyrics
[Verse 1] Faces and names, I wish they were the same Faces and names only cause trouble for me Faces and names If we all looked the same and we all had the same name I wouldn't be jealous of you or you jealous of me Faces and names [Bridge 1] I always fall in love with someone who looks The way I wish that I could be I'm always staring at someone who hurts And the one they hurt is me [Verse 2] Faces and names, to me they're all the same If I looked like you and you looked like me There'd be less trouble you'd see Faces and names, I wish they'd go away I'd disappear into that wall and never talk Talk, not talk [Bridge 2] I wish I was a robot or a machine Without a feeling or a thought People who want to meet the name I have Are always disappointed in me [Guitar Break] [Verse 3] Faces and names, I wish they were the same Faces and names only cause problems for me Faces and names I'd rather be a hole in the wall, looking on the other side I'd rather look and listen, listen not talk To faces and names [Bridge 3] If I had a breakdown when I was a kid If I lost my hair when I was young If you dress older when you are not As your really age you look the same [Verse 4] If we all looked the same, we wouldn't play these games Me dressing for you, you dressing for me Undressing for me Faces and names, if they all were the same You wouldn't be jealous of me or me jealous of you Me jealous of you, you jealous of you [Outro] Your face and your name Your face and your name Faces and names Faces and names
