lyrics

the problem with making friends
with someone who is shy
is once we talk we never shut up
deep down we're all attention hogs
and when we keep it bottled up
we're all the more annoying when we open up

the problem with being a good listener
is that some people aren't heard enough
and when we find an attentive audience
we'll sing your sorry ears off
the problem with being kind
the problem with having an open mind
is that people will milk it as much as they can
when they find you

the problem with going downtown
is you see the people you know all around
and maybe you want to talk to them
but you don't know what to say
and you never cared much for small talk anyway

the problem with going where you've never been
is that everyone else has friends
and you don't yet and for some reason you suspect
they'll reject you even though you haven't even met
but the problem with hiding in the wilderness
is you get scared of the animal noises
you feel paranoid that a spider could bite you
and it could be poisonous
plus you can't afford a car
how you gunna get to the grocery store
when you can't even walk
cause it's just too far

the problem with people is you can't live with them
but living without them is really not an option
the problem with people is you can't live with them
but living without them is really not an option
the problem with people is you can't live with them
but living without them is really, really not
an o-o-o-o-op......tion!
