lyrics

communication is just something
that we've gotta work on
'cause I'm confused about
how I should act when you're gone
am I someone who can confide in you
or am I someone
who's spoke of
in harsh tones
on your cellular phone

you can smear me around if you wanna
I don't mind
you can rearrange the letters of my name
and make it say something unkind
you can smear me around if you gotta
you could tell everyone
that I'm stupid, filthy, worthless and pathetic
but it still doesn't bother me none
because
I know you too well
and I know you've got
no truth to tell
I know you
and I can see straight through
when you smear me around

my reputation isn't something
that I brag much about
cause I've a history of getting high
and freaking folks out
I don't mean any harm
even when I scream and shout
so I don't mind if you feel the need to
you can just pout

you can smear me around if you wanna
I don't mind
you can rearrange the letters of my name
and make it say something unkind
you can smear me around if you gotta
you could tell everyone
that I'm stupid, filthy, worthless and pathetic
but it still doesn't bother me none
because
I know you too well
and I know you've got
no truth to tell
I know you
and I can see straight through
when you smear me around
