Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else  
 Because the posters on the wall they don't look like him at all  
  
 So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin  
 Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all  
  
 He gets his courage from the can,  
 It makes him feel like a man  
 Because he's loving all the ladies  
 But the ladies don't love him at all  
  
 Cause when he's not drunk  
 He's only stuck on himself  
 And then he has the nerve  
 To say he needs a decent girl  
  
 Looking at herself but wishing she was someone else  
 Because the body of the doll it don't look like hers at all  
  
 So she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin  
 Laughing at herself because she knows she ain't that at all  
  
 All caught up in the trends  
 Well the truth began to bend  
 And the next thing you man  
 There just ain't no truth left at all  
  
 Cause when the pretty girl walks  
 She walks so proud  
 And when the pretty girl laughs  
 Oh man, she laughs so loud  
  
 And if it ain't this then its that  
 As a matter of fact  
 She hasn't had a day to relax  
 Since she has lost her ability to think clearly  
  
 Well I'm an energetic hypothetic version of another person  
 Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in here  
  
 Well I'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict  
 Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in  
 Here comes another one, just like the other one  
 Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else  
 Because the posters on the wall they don't look like a him  
 And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin  
 Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all  
 He knows he ain't loved at all
