Look outside it's nice enough
  but we'll stay in with all our stuff
  this is dedication more than love
  my cowardice is what you need
  so your vanities can breed
  plant your flowers in my weeds
  
  When I call you beautiful
  it's cause I can
  and when you think I'm sucking up
  I sort of am
  the little lies that make you feel good
  I say more often than I should
  
  'cause I'm a low level rebel
  I jaywalk to beat the devil
  I'm no bass but lots of treble
  all the things about me are forced
  a costume party or compulsory course
  so let's get right to the source
  
  When I call you beautiful
  it's cause I can
  and when you think I'm sucking up
  I sort of am
  the little lies that make you feel good
  I say more often than I should
  so I can never make you mad...
  
  any change will bring on pain
  so I deny it all the same
  so I can never make you mad
  never make you mad...
