Those not in the know
Might call me wonderful
Clearly you can see, they don't live with me

If you only scratch the surface
You might think I'm perfect
Those that really know, no way could they conceive

Those without a clue
Think there's nothing I can't do
I just hope that you, don't decide to dive too deep

You can even ask my mother
Without a single stutter
She'll be the first to say, something's wrong with me

Those that just meet me
Might think quite differently
Than those who have known me over time

The less that we hang out
The better off I sound
Aloof is a move that works just fine

If I hang too long around
I might wear my welcome out
That's why I've learned to turn on a dime

Those that don't know me
Might believe anything they see
With all this I only wish that I was lying
