You're Not in on the Joke - Cobra Starship

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, you know I’m just getting bored

I’m no cynic;

you know I got a heart of gold

They say I’m cold

cold

cold

Oh baby why so cold?

I’m super sweet;

sealed with a kiss

Don’t get offended if there’s something you missed

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

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, can you spare me?

I’ve got just 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 missed

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

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 t-t-t-t-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
