Pretend To Be Nice Lyrics - Singles - Josie & The Pussycats

Well, he looks at me with those innocent eyes 

And says, "It looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise 

Because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied 

I hope that 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 that I can take it no more 

He's driving me right out 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 

Everything in my life would be alright 

And I try so hard just to figure him out 

But he won't tell me what he's been 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 line 

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 

Everything in my life would be alright 

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, '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 

Everything in my life would be alright 

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, alright 

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, alright 

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, alright 

Can't you just pretend to be nice 

Can you at least pretend to be nice
