Kay Hanley - Pretend To Be Nice

Well, he looks at me with those inoccent eyes,
And says it looks like you're wearing some kind of diguise,
Because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied,
I'd hope 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 I can take it no more,
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

Oooh wee....
Oooh wee....

And I try so hard just to figure him out,
But he won't tell me what he's thinking about,
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch,
With his sunglasses 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,

Oooh wee....
Oooh wee....

(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 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

(Repeat until song fades out)
