Some people are just all show
Well I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy feely when you've lost touch
I think it's time we had a little intervention with ya 

Cadd2  -  G (320003@1)-  Cadd2  -  DHey (xx0232@1)now, wake up 
And lose the makeup

C (x32010@1)-  G (320003@1)-  Am7 (x02010@1)-  DShe (xx0232@1)makes you want to know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really want to show her
          Am7 (x02010@1)Em7  C (x32010@1)   DHow (xx0232@1)she's just so down to earth

The closest friends are the kind you pay
If they don't balance straight then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the blessed few
How'd ya manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst
Mix it all up, and you're the all purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something tastes bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with ya 

Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you want to know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really want to show her
How she's just so down to earth

What's it like to love you
When there's no one else above you 
And no one gets to know you
Well, who'll be there to show you
Via satellite

Well it's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a good deal
But what you're selling there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying

Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you want to know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really want to show her
How she's just so down to earth
She makes you want to know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really want to show her
How she's just so down to earth
