Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes
and says it looks like you're wearin' some kinda disguise
because your hair sticks up, youre shoes are untied
I hope that you got that shirt at half price
And every word I say falls flat on the floor
I try to tell a joke, he's heard it before
and I dont think that I can take it no more
He's drivin' me right, out my front door

CHORUS
Why do ya do what you do to me baby?
Shakin my confidence driving me crazy
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me 'cause You know I adore you

(softly)
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice
If you could just pretend to be nice
Everything in my life would be alright

ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
oo-ooh

And I try so hard just to figure him out
But if you tell me what he's been thinkin about
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch
With his sunglasses on, his tounge hangin' out
Then he dissappears for a week at a time
And then he shows up, just like evrything's fine
I don't get what goes on in his mind
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines

CHORUS

Why do ya do what you do to me baby?
Shakin' my confidence driving me crazy
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me 'cause You know I adore you

(softly)
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice
If you could just pretend to be nice
Everything in my life would be alright

ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(Can't you just pretend to be nice?)
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(Could you at least pretend to be nice)
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(If you could just pretend to be nice)
ooooh
(Everything in my life would be alright, alright)

ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(Can't you just pretend to be nice?)
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(Could you at least pretend to be nice)
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(If you could just pretend to be nice)
ooooh
(Everything in my life would be alright, alright)

ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(Can't you just pretend to be nice?)
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(Could you at least pretend to be nice)
ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh-ee,ooh,ooh-ooh-ooh
(If you could just pretend to be nice)
ooooh
(Everything in my life would be alright, alright)
