"Fake Happy"
I love making you believe
What you get is what you see
But I'm so fake happy
I feel so fake happy
And I bet everybody here
Is just as insincere
We're all so fake happy
And I know fake happy
So I been doin' a good job
Of makin' 'em think
I'm quite alright
Better hope I don't blink
You see, it's easy when I'm stompin' on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath
Hey, if I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh, please, don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh, no, oh, what's the use?
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
And if I go out tonight
And dress up my fears
You think I look alright with these mascara tears?
See, I'm gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth
And if the lights are low, they'll never see me frown
Hey, if I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh, please, don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh, no, oh, oh, what's the use?
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
I know I said that I was doing good, and that I'm happy now
Ooh-ooh
I shoulda known when things were going good
That's when I'd get knocked down
Oh, please, just don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh, no (oh, no)
Oh, what's the use?
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
Oh, please
Oh, please
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
