I'm keeping up appearance
I'm trying to seem cool
- no. I could never be cool

I'm keeping up appearance
I'm trying to seem smart
- no. I could never be smart

I'm keeping up appearance
trying hard to be
someone you will like, will love,
will wanna want to be
You me?

I'm keeping up appearance
trying to be someone I am not, a lot
It's tiresome

To heck with it!
I'll try to be
- just me

It's all I'll ever be
