Lyrics
"I wanna talk to you."
"The last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears. I promise you it won't happen again."

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all of her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

"Getting angry doesn't solve anything."

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello, my baby
Hello, my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all of her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
So walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself. Hey!
But you only want what everybody else says you should want,
'cause you want.


I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
(x 2)

Ooooooo, whoa!

"Humphry! We're leaving."
"Cha-ching!"

AHHHHHHHHH their facesssssssssssss I LOVE THEIR FACES AND I LOVE THIS SONG AND I LOVE THEIR FACES TO THIS SONG !

[swizzlespoon]

Adorable vid makes me want to give the show another chance (hated the pilot, have heard lots of good things about the show since then). Gorgeous people being cute, yay!

[actiaslunaris]

I die when I think about how they won't be able to be oddballs at each other anymore. Such darling idiots with their screwball comedy. :D I had so much fun making this and staring at their faces while doing it, and I'm glad you love it. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

I like going for the literal joke. Thank you!

[seekingferret]

:D Me too. Some of my favorite vids were made because I couldn't resist going for the literal joke.

[actiaslunaris]

I hope you've had a chance to watch the show; there are more of those emotions waiting for you inside. Thank you.

[actiaslunaris]

I was so happy when I read this. That kind of affirmation is oh-so-good. (And yet only months later am I able to answer.) Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

If for nothing else than their faces, I assure you it's not a show anyone has regretted watching. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

Angst is all well and good, but dorkitude is much much better. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

I'm happy you love it! This is one pairing I still enjoy watching so very much. I just want to doodle hearts around them all the time. Thank you.

[actiaslunaris]

It is, so very much. That's what's fascinating about them, because they both succumbed to their crush on each other pretty fast and yet they both flounder around not knowing what to do about it. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

The bridge is my favorite part. They have so far to go in their relationship, with all this floundering around they're doing with their mutual admiration, but still, it's good for them. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

That face is the best face. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

It's sad, still, when I think about it, but appropriate to the source material. I'm glad you liked this! Thank you.

[actiaslunaris]

Awww, thank you. Their faces are beyond precious; they are priceless.

[actiaslunaris]

:D Thank you so much! I'm so glad the song choice worked for you.

[actiaslunaris]

It's still a source quite worthy of checking out. Thank you; I'm pleased you liked this.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you~!

[actiaslunaris]

*smishes their cheeks* It was such fun to vid their faces. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

I'm pleased that it affected you so deeply; a lot of my own emotions went into it that were much the same. Thank you.

[actiaslunaris]

:D Thank you so much! They have a chemistry very similar to leads in screwball comedies.

[actiaslunaris]

♥♥♥ Thank you so much!

[actiaslunaris]

The power-walk beats, yes! That was fun to vid and definitely on purpose. Thank you!

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you! I'm pleased you liked it. (I'm still sad the show is gone, too.)

[actiaslunaris]

Eeeee, thank you. I'm glad I was able to convey how cute I find them.
