I love makin' 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 See, 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 I 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, dress up my fears You think I look alright with these mascara tears? See, I'm gonna draw 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 I 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 doin' good And that I'm happy now (Ooh) I shoulda known when things were goin' good That's when I'd get knocked down Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba 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) Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba (Oh, please) Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba Carlos
