You’re Not In On the Joke (iTunes Session) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't take them faces at their value
In a cynical town
Yeah, an't you smell the stale air?
I had no skill but I had heart
So then I turned it around
You must remember
I'm no cynic
You know I'm just getting bored
I'm no cynic
You know I got a heart of gold
Woah-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
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 (You see them laughing)
Don't follow in
'Cause they're not in on the joke
[Verse 2]
I got my picture in the paper
And my dad, he was 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've got just one side to show you all
My ass is awesome
So smile when you're kissing it all
Oh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
They say I'm
Cold, cold, cold
Gabey, you 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 (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 tongue, tongue in my cheek
A hopeless romantic (You see them laughing)
You'll never see
'Cause you're not in on the joke
And you're not in on the joke

[Chorus]
I only show you what I want you to see
I got my tongue, tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing (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 (You see them laughing)
You'll never see
'Cause you're not in on the joke
