Cynical Songtext
von Timbuk 3

I can get so cynical sometimes
See the dark side of every silver lining
But you cut through the negativity
When you do the things you do to me
Oooh, I can′t get cynical
Oooh, I can't get cynical about you

If you were anyone else I might suspect
I′m just another whom in time you will reject
A home improvement project
An object for your pleasure
But something tells me
We have found a lasting treasure
Oooh, I can't get cynical
Oooh, I can't get cynical about you


I can get cynical enough to make you mad
I can get cynical about your mom and dad
I can be bad you know as well as I do
But I′m no cynic when it comes to loving you
Oooh, I can′t get cynical about you
Cynical, I can't get cynical about you

I can get cynical about most anything
I can get cynical about this song I sing
It′s just so positive it must be really shallow
Flowers on the window ledge, acres lying fallow

I don't believe in your theory of creation
I don′t believe that Mary was a virgin
I don't believe in your brother the mystic
That′s not being cynical
That's just being realistic
Oooh, I can't get cynical about you
Cynical, I can′t get cynical about you

In this world of cynical souls
Actors cast in cynical roles
Thank God I know someone so nice
Who′ll give me respite from my greatest vice
Oooh, I can't get cynical
Oooh, I can′t get cynical about you
