You don’t read books and you don’t like flowers You’ve been looking sad for hours Maybe you’re down, maybe you’re just you Pretty on the outside, empty when you look through

Nothing seems to engage you No ambition beyond getting through the day Then before I know it, You’ll up and move away, I know

You love no one but yourself, Other things just get in the way Life gets in the way of romance Things are misleading at first glance

You don’t have hobbies and very few friends Your life is filled with odds and ends I want to find the core, to find the real you It’s almost impossible to do

You don’t read books and you don’t like flowers You’ve been looking sad for hours Maybe you’re down, just because you’re you Pretty on the outside, vacuous when you look through
