Lyrics

That Face

She wondered if she’d gained a little too much weight
And her face lit up when I disagreed
She turned bright red when I said she looked just great
And she turned away so I wouldn’t see

But out here in the real world we are all wrong
This isn’t a movie and it ain’t no long
Ooh, in the real world there ain’t nothing here for me
Just a pleasant fantasy that I wish was reality

‘Cause you see, she’s got that face
It’s a sunshine on a summer morning face
And when she turns it on she lights up the whole place
She makes me smile for a while with just a trace
Of that pretty little face.

She said she needs a good man, but nobody fits that bill
And I bite my tongue and say nothing, I never will
Sometimes reality’s like acid, it makes such bitter pills
It’s the medicine that brings the ills

But here in the real world we leave well enough alone
Settle right back into the friend zone
Ooh, in the real world, she’s over there, and here I’ll be
There’s a her, and then there’s me, never gonna be a we

Unfortunately, ‘cause she’s got that face
God damned sunshine on a summer morning face
And when she turns it on she lights the whole damned place
Don’t let her make me with just a trace of that face

But we got our obligations, we’ve got responsibilities
So many rational explanations for why I shouldn't be here
And why she shouldn’t be here with me, and it’s plain to see

She’s got that face, she’s got the face
Oh, there ain’t nothing I can do
Look at that face, she’s got the face

,(I’ll tell you what it’s like)

It’s like sunshine on a Sunday morning,
Cool breeze on a summer day
Wrap my cares in rainbows, yeah,
And carry them away
It’s like a sweet dream when you least expect it,
Ice cream when you're feeling low
Cool streams and moonbeams
She’s sweet from head to toe
Oh, with that face…
