Look outside it's nice enough   But we'll stay in with all our stuff   This is dedication more than love      My cowardice is what you need   So your vanities can breed   Plant your flowers in my weeds      When I call you beautiful, it's 'cause I can   And when you think I'm sucking up, I sort of am   The little lies that make you feel good   I say more often that I should      'Cause I'm a low level rebel   I jaywalk to beat the devil   I'm no bass but lots of treble      All the things about me are forced   A costume party or compulsory course   So let's get right to the source      When I call you beautiful, it's 'cause I can   And when you think I'm sucking up, I sort of am   The little lies that make you feel good   I say more often that I should so I can never make you mad      Any change will bring on pain   So I deny it all the same   So I can never make you mad   Never make you mad
