	I look	pret-	ty	young	but I'm	just back	dat-	-	ed, yeah!

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.

The north side of my town faced east, And the east was facing south.

And now you dare to look me in the eye, Those crocodile tears are what you cry!

If it's a genuine problem you won't try - To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by.

But I'm a substitute for another guy; I look pretty tall but my heels are high;

The simple things you see are all complicated; I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah!
