Lyrics
I love making you believe What you get is what you see But I'm so fake happy I feel so fake happy And I bet everybody here Is just as insincere We're all so fake happy And I know fake happy So I been doin' a good job Of makin' 'em think I'm quite alright Better hope I don't blink You see, it's easy when I'm stompin' on a beat But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath Hey, if I smile with my teeth Bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh, please, don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh, no, oh, what's the use? Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too And if I go out tonight And dress up my fears You think I look alright with these mascara tears? See, I'm gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth And if the lights are low, they'll never see me frown Hey, if I smile with my teeth Bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh, please, don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh, no, oh, oh, what's the use? Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too I know I said that I was doing good, and that I'm happy now Ooh-ooh I shoulda known when things were going good That's when I'd get knocked down Oh, please, just don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh, no (oh, no) Oh, what's the use? Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too Oh, please Oh, please Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
