Babyface - 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 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 Cause he's driving me right out of 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? Can you at least pretend to be nice? If you could just pretend to be nice Well, everything in my life would be alright Oeoeoeooooooo Oeoeoeooooooo 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 sungla**es on and his tongue hanging out And then he disappears for a week at a time And then he shows up just like everything's 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 cuz 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 Everything in my life would be alright Oeoeoeooooooo Oeoeoeooooooo (Guitar) 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 I don't mean to bore you '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 Everything in my life would be alright (Repeat until song fades out)
