You're a part time lover and a full time friend The monkey on your back is the latest trend I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you Here is the church and here is the steeple We sure are cute for two ugly people I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me So why can't you forgive me? I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you I will find my niche in your car With my MP3, DVD, rumple-packed guitar I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you You are always trying to keep it real I'm in love with how you feel I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you We both have shiny happy fits of rage You want more fans, I want more stage I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you Don Quixote was a steel driving man My name is Adam, I'm your biggest fan I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you Squinched up your face and did a dance You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants I don't see what anyone can see In anyone else but you But you
