Perspective

Hate to admit that it’s true, but I’m infatuated with you
I’ve tried to act like I really don’t care
I always look away when I’d really rather stare
‘Cause heaven forbid that you should know
I just can’t let this side of me show
I’m too old to be acting this obsessive
Why’s it so hard to keep these things in perspective?
Like we’ve never had a word and you don’t know my name
Big deal if you did it’d still be the same
‘Cause you’re a them, the special they, and I’m not in this crowd
You’d never take me serious I know that’s not allowed
But when I think about you goodbye practicality
Suddenly I just don’t understand about reality
I hope it’s not going to stay like this
When you’re around I’m not myself
And I don’t understand why you do this to me
When I’m so cool with everyone else
I’m trying to keep things in perspective
I’m trying not to get too obsessive
But when I think about you goodbye practicality
Suddenly I just don’t understand about reality
To hell with the odds and how it’s always been
I won’t be realistic and I won’t give in
Well I’m trying to keep things in perspective
I’m trying not to get too obsessive
But when I think about you goodbye practicality
Suddenly I just don’t understand about reality

I Hate Lying To Mom
I hate lying to Mom because I know it’s wrong
But whenever I ask to go out - all we do it scream and shout
My Mom, she doesn’t agree with me
I just, I wanna be free
She always says no, but I gotta go
So now I tell her I’m going to Betsy’s House
And that’s how I get out
I hate lying to Mom but it really isn’t so wrong
When she makes me do it – she drives me to it
So why should I feel so bad?
I’m out tonight and I should be glad
But I feel guilty as hell and she’ll be able to tell
But whenever I ask to go out - all we do it scream and shout
My Mom, she doesn’t agree with me
I just, I wanna be free
She always says no, but I gotta go
So now I tell her I’m going to Betsy’s House
And that’s how I get out
I hate lying to Mom because I know it’s wrong

Sad Little Dog

WELL – YOU’RE A SAD LITTLE DOG
CAN I KICK YOU AGAIN
I CERTAINLY WAS CLEVER
GETTING YOU FOR A FRIEND
The best of both worlds I have My cake and eat it too
There were a few rough spots Now everything is smooth
I’m looking out for myself It’s the way to survive
If you’re oversensitive It’s hard to get by
But you can’t have everything Or someone has to lose
It’s nothing personal But I don’t like being used
WELL – YOU’RE A SAD LITTLE DOG
CAN I KICK YOU AGAIN
I CERTAINLY WAS CLEVER
GETTING YOU FOR A FRIEND
I know you don’t understand
It’s how you’ve always been
But it hurts when I’m around you
And I do have other friends
WELL – YOU’RE A SAD LITTLE DOG CAN I KICK YOU AGAIN
I CERTAINLY WAS CLEVER GETTING YOU FOR A FRIEND

I want to crawl in a great big hole and pull it in on top of me
And I'm not coming out til I find that I'm back where I'm supposed to be
I CAN'T STAND ANOTHER DAY IN THESE PRETTY PLACES

He told me he wanted to see me again
But that’s a mistake I won’t repeat with him
He said it wasn’t really as bad as it seemed
And isn’t he a part of my dreams?
YES, NO, I DON’T KNOW
I DON’T KNOW
WE TRIED IT ONCE BEFORE AND I STILL LOVE HIM EVEN THOUGH
I DON’T KNOW
I said I couldn’t take anymore of his lies
And he promised me things I never used to buy
But he’s got a charm that he uses way too well
And when he’s sincere I can’t tell
YES, NO, I DON’T KNOW
I DON’T KNOW
WE TRIED IT ONCE BEFORE AND I STILL LOVE HIM EVEN THOUGH
I DON’T KNOW
Look at me, I’m here with him tonight
Even though I still don’t know what’s right
But I’m not alone in my thoughts for once at least
I’m going to hold on to this little peace
YES, NO, I DON’T KNOW
I DON’T KNOW
WE TRIED IT ONCE BEFORE AND I STILL LOVE HIM EVEN THOUGH
I DON’T KNOW
