Pretend to Be Nice

Well, he looks at me with those innocent eyes

And says, "It looks like your wearing some kind of disguise

Because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied

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 what you do to me, baby?

Shakin' my confidence, drivin' 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

Well, everything in my life would be alright

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh, ooh

And I try so hard just to figure him out

But he won't tell me what he's been thinking about

And then he falls asleep on the living room couch

With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out

Then he disappears for a week at a time

And then he shows up, just like everything's fine

I don't get what goes on in his mind

But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines

Why do you what you do to me, baby?

Shakin' my confidence, drivin' 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

Well, everything in my life would be alright

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh, ooh

Why do you what you do to me, baby?

Shakin' my confidence, drivin' me crazy

You know if I could, I'd do anything for you

Don't mean to bore 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

Well, everything in my life would be alright

Can't you just pretend to be nice?

Could you at least pretend to be nice?

If you could just pretend to be nice

Well, everything in my life would be alright, alright

Can't you just pretend to be nice?

Could you at least pretend to be nice?

If you could just pretend to be nice

Well, everything in my life would be alright, alright

Can't you just pretend to be nice?

Could you at least pretend to be nice?

If you could just pretend to be nice

Well, everything in my life would be alright, alright
