Don't take them faces   At their value in a cynical town   Can't 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   But sometimes I get bored   I'm no cynic   No, I got a heart of gold   Oh, oh      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-tongue in my cheek   If you seem them laughing   (If you see them laughing)   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   And you'll never see   'Cause you're not in on the joke      I got my picture in the paper   And my parents are 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      They say I'm cold, cold, cold   Gabey, baby, you 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-tongue in my cheek   If you seem them laughing   (If you see them laughing)   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   And you'll never see   'Cause you're not in on the joke      No, you don't know   You don't know me   You don't know   You don't know me   No, you don't know me   No, oh, no, oh, oh      I only show you what I want you to see   I got my tongue, tongue in my cheek   If you seem them laughing   (If you see them laughing)   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   And you'll never see   'Cause you're not in on the joke
