[00:02.210]I'm sick of hearing songs
[00:05.257]About the boy who was ignored
[00:08.006]And the girls who did him wrong
[00:11.802]They said that he was shy
[00:14.945]And they claimed he wasn't manly
[00:17.534]Oh how that made him cry
[00:20.116]But now he's rich and famous
[00:22.365]Such a pity ain't it
[00:24.784]They missed their opportunity to catch a rising star
[00:29.582]And to me it seems obnoxious
[00:31.857]Mr. Singer are you not just insecure?
[00:38.460]And now you're singin'...
[00:40.268]Why'd they have to be so superficial
[00:44.801]Now you wish they'd be more superficial
[00:49.478]It seems so mean to me to be it's so artificial
[00:53.475]So go and write your song
[00:55.742]Just know that you're the superficial one
[01:02.080]You're so superficial
[01:08.689]Mr. Folds can take a pass
[01:12.735]'Cuz that dwarf was so damn angry
[01:14.941]When he said to kiss his ass
[01:18.240]You know I kissed some man myself
[01:21.753]But little Ben can get away with shit
[01:24.301]That can't nobody else
[01:27.113]So for all the other losers
[01:29.453]The beggars now the choosers
[01:31.830]Who'd have thought that you would be the coolest kid in class?
[01:36.561]And you're laughing in their faces
[01:39.018]Oh the chance that they've wasted
[01:41.265]Cause the nice guys don't always finish last
[01:45.502]And now you're singing...
[01:47.081]Why'd they have to be so superficial
[01:51.814]Now you wish they'd be more superficial
[01:56.558]It seems so mean to me to be it's so artificial
[02:00.534]So go and write your song
[02:02.925]Just know that you're the superficial one
[02:09.424]You're so superficial
[02:12.831]Just know that you're the superficial one
[02:18.798]You're so superficial
[02:26.158]Who are you to say that she's not better off?
[02:30.205]She could be married with some children to a doctor in Vermont
[02:35.958]And if you're thinking 'bout these girls, It's hypocritical
[02:41.719]You're not out of their league if you're still stuck in their world
[02:49.777]And if things for me go well
[02:53.901]You know I'll thank those who have helped me
[02:56.321]And I won't punish no one else
[02:58.508]Cause I don't need your damn regret
[03:00.883]I might forgive, I might forget
[03:03.304]Cause I'm the bigger man...
[03:05.116]Except to maybe say go **** yourself, so
[03:08.868]Why'd they have to be so superficial
[03:13.995]Now you wish they'd be more superficial
[03:18.821]It seems so mean to me to be it's so artificial
[03:22.925]So go and write your song
[03:24.716]But it is you who is the superficial one
[03:31.418]You're so superficial
