The first thing that you said to me
Was that "your life is so interesting"
So I follow it from week to week
Like a TV show
And everything you did was so
Idealised and enviable
Your perfect life, it got so old
So I turned my head
Yeah, I turned my head
'Cause all you do is talk, talk, talk
All about yourself, self, self
And I wonder if anybody else
Sees through your smile
When you're going on and on
I never want the things you want
Would it kill you to
See that it's not cute
To anyone who isn't you
You sat down on the couch and said,
"What's going on, how have you been?"
But you weren't really listening
I could tell by how
You act like my lips never move
Not then make it about you
Tell me all the things you do and
If I care
But honey, I don't care
'Cause all you do is talk, talk, talk
All about yourself, self, self
And I wonder if anybody else
Sees through your smile
When you're going on and on
I never want the things you want
Would it kill you to
See that it's not cute
To anyone who isn't you
Wish you were the exception and not the rule
But sadly baby, that's not true
Everyone acts just like you
So I think that I will too
All you do is talk, talk, talk
All about yourself, self, self
And I wonder if anybody else
Sees through your smile
When you're going on and on
I never want the things you want
Would it kill you to
See that it's not cute
To anyone who isn't you
'Cause all you do is talk, talk, talk
All about yourself, self, self
Would it kill you to
See that it's not cute
To anyone who isn't you
