I learned politeness on my motherôs knee
I learned by uprightness my number of friends should increase
When I think about the things Iôve done
I laugh out loud to no one
Yeah to no one
Chorus:
Coz itôs so hard to meet
The eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
Thereôs something inside me ôn I know itôs good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile; thereôs a laugh ôn a 1/2
But I became honest Mr. Mistaken
In spie of the curves my smile was makinô
Bumpers and kickers in one big stream
I grew up in a life size pin ball machine
Yeah theyôre mean
Chorus
On my behalf
Thereôs something inside me ôn I know itôs good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile; therôs a laugh ôn a 1/2
I tried to fill some silence
Coz the silence feels so long
I knew the ice was gettinô thinner
But I kept skating on
My mother threw me into this world as a winner
But by the light of the yellow beer
they tell jokes Iôll never get to hear
On my behalf
Thereôs something inside me...
