lyrics

I'm not a real person
No I'm not a real person
I'm just a caricature, a caricature
Of a caring young lover

When I go to bed, I'm not really getting sleep
And though I walk the streets, I've got no dates to keep
When I'm making friends, I just can't memorize
Names or faces like those other guys

When I'm baking bread, I'm not really making bread
And when I get ahead, I get behind instead
When I'm making friends, they don't know what to make of me
My words are quantity, over quality

I'm not a real person
No I'm not a real person
I'm just a caricature, a caricature
Of an honest hard worker

When I'm acting mean, I'm not really feeling mean
And when I take a bath, I'm not really getting clean
When I'm losing weight, I'm losing energy
And when you lie to me, well that's just fine with me

(I'm not a real person
No I'm not a real person
I'm just a caricature, a caricature
Of a caring young lover) x2
