0:01I wanna talk to you
0:03The last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears
0:06I promise you it won't happen again
0:10Do I attract you? Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
0:13Am I too dirty, am I too flirty? Do I like what you like?
0:17I could be wholesome, I could be loathsome, I guess I'm a little bit shy
0:21Why don't you like me, why don't you like me, without making me try?
0:25I tried to be like Grace Kelly, mmh
0:29But all her looks were too sad, aah
0:33So I tried a little Freddie, mmh
0:37I've gone identity mad!
0:41I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky
0:45I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like
0:49Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more
0:53Why don't you like me, why don't you like me?
0:55Why don't you walk out the door?
0:57Getting angry doesn't solve anything
1:00How can I help it, how can I help it? How can I help what you think?
1:04Hello my baby, hello my baby, putting my life on my brink
1:08Why don't you like me, why don't you like me? Why don't you like yourself?
1:12Should I bend over, should I look older, just to be put on your shelf?
1:16I tried to be like Grace Kelly, mmh
1:20But all her looks were too sad, aah
1:24So I tried a little Freddie, mmh
1:28I've gone identity mad!
1:32I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky
1:36I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like
1:40Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more
1:44Why don't you like me, why don't you like me?
1:46Walk out the door!
1:49Say what you want to satisfy yourself, hey
1:56But you only want what everybody else says you should want
2:06You want
2:11I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky
2:15I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like
2:19Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more
2:23Why don't you like me, why don't you like me?
2:25Walk out the door!
2:27I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky
2:31I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like
2:35Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more
2:39Why don't you like me, why don't you like me?
2:41Walk out the door!
2:44Uuh, ah
2:52Humphry, we're leaving
2:54Ca-ching!
2:56♪
