You're Not in on the Joke

Don't take them faces at their value in a cynical town
 Yeah, can't you smell the stale air?
 I had no skill but I had heart so then I turned it around
 And just remember
 I'm no cynic, you know I'm just getting bored
 I'm no cynic, you know 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-t-tongue in my cheek
 If you see 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-t-tongue in my cheek
 A hopeless romantic, you'll never see
 'Cause you're not in on the joke
 I got my picture in the paper and my parents were 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 all, oh, oh
 They say I'm cold, cold, cold
 Baby, why 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-t-tongue in my cheek
 If you seem 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-t-tongue in my cheek
 A hopeless romantic, you'll never see
 'Cause you're not in on the joke
 No, you don't know, you don't know me
 No, you don't know, you don't know me
 No, you don't know me, no, oh, no, oh
 I only show you what I want you to see
 I got my tongue, tongue in my cheek
 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-t-tongue in my cheek
 A hopeless romantic, you'll never see
 'Cause you're not in on the joke
