Lyrics

[Chorus]
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
Because the posters on the wall, they don't look like him at all
So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
[Verse 1]
He gets his courage from the can, it makes him feel like a man
Because he's loving all the ladies, but the ladies don't love him at all
'Cause when he's not drunk, he's only stuck on himself
And then he has the nerve to say he needs a decent girl
[Chorus]
Looking at herself but wishing she was someone else
Because the body of the doll don't look like hers at all
So she straps it up, she sets it in, she throws it up, it gets a grin
Laughing at herself because she knows she ain't that at all
[Verse 2]
All caught up in the trends, well, the truth began to bend
And the next thing you know, man, there just ain't truth left at all
'Cause when the pretty girl walks, she walks so proud
And when the pretty girl laughs, oh man, she laughs so loud
[Bridge]
And if it ain't this, then it's that, as a matter of fact
She hasn't had a day to relax
Since she's lost her ability to think clearly
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm an energetic, hypothetic version of another person
Check out my outsides, there ain't nothing in here
Well, I'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict
Check out my outsides, there ain't nothing in here
Comes another one, just like the other
[Verse 4]
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
Because the posters on the wall, they don't look like him
Ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
Knows he ain't loved at all
