There's somebody that I want you to know

She's a sweet sweet friend of mine

If she has a fault she will go overboard

When there's a man around she flirts like a child

Darling take a hint once and for all

Stay away from them

'Cause everything you say

Just seems to them so strange

They cross the street whenever they see you come

When the cynics stare back from the wall

It's no fun at all

Honey even when you feel flat and broken

You got to trust to a happy mind

You could put your faith in me

If you've got eyes to see

And you got arms that wait for something to hold

When the cynics stare back from the wall

It always feels cold

When I saw you in the café today

Explain it all away to me

Everyone we know every girl and boy

Each one is a misery

So look me straight in the eye and tell me you're alright

'Cause I want to know the truth

Nothing else will do

Nothing else will do

If you keep making the same mistakes over

You're like a puppy with a broken leg

Hey and if it goes okay you've got me to blame

For being so cynical and never the boy

You used to laugh at till you cried on your bed

At all the stupid things I said

At all the stupid things I said

When I saw you in the café today

Explain it all away to me

Everyone we know every girl and boy

Each one is a misery

So look me straight in the eye

And tell me you're alright

'Cause I want to know the truth

Nothing else will do

When the cynics stare back from the wall

I know it's time to change

I was so confused by the promises

And the hardest thing is to walk

Towards the things you need

When the things you want

Are like vision for the blind

And I know you don't believe in a single thing

That you can't touch smell or feel

Hey it's been a week of woe

Which way you gonna go

When your desire has but all run aground

'Cause when the cynics stare back from the wall

You'd better not fall

You'd better not fall

You'd better not fall

You'd better not fall
