Can't You Just Pretend To Be Nice? lyrics

Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes
and says It looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise,
because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied
and I hope that you got that shirt at half price
And every word I say falls flat on the floor
I try to tell a joke he's heard it before
and I don't think that I can take it no more
he's driving me right, out my front door

Why do you do what you do to me baby?
Shaking my confidence,
driving me crazy!
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you

can't you just pretend to be nice?
could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
then everything in my life would be alright

oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo

And I tried so hard just to figure him out
but he won't tell me what he's been thinkin' about
and then he falls asleep on the living room couch
with his sun glasses on, and his tongue hanging out
and then he disappears for a week at a time
and then he shows up, just like everythings fine and
I don't get what goes on in his mind
but I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines

Why do you do what you do to me baby?
Shaking my confidence,
driving me crazy!
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you

Can't you just pretend to be nice?
can You at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice,
then everything in my life would be alright

oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo

Why do you do what you do to me baby?
Shaking my confidence,
driving me crazy!
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
don't need to hold you 'cause you know I adore you

Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could You at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice?
Then everything in my life would be alright

oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo (cant u just pretend to be nice)
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo
oeoeoeoeoeoeoooooooo..

*Fade Until End*
