I hate talking and I hate walking next to someone I don’t know
 Someone I don’t know
 I hate pretending to keep up this friend thing
 When I have enough friends and I’d rather be at home
 
 Things would be much easier
 And it would really save some time
 If you knew my favorite color
 And my favorite kind of pie
 
 I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
 I’d teach you all about my life from side B to side A
 Fast forward, rewind… Whenever or never mind
 
 I hate been picky but right now you don’t get me
 But in time I think you will and I know you won’t until
 You listen very closely to the tape and mostly
 You will see how I’ve become someone I hope you’ll know and love
 
 Things would be much easier
 And it would really save some time
 If you knew my favorite color
 And my favorite kind of pie
 
 I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
 I’d teach you all about my life from side B to side A
 Fast forward, rewind… Whenever or never mind
 
 My good friends know that I’ve never tried a boysenberry
 My good friends know that in the wintertime my legs are hairy
 My good friends know that I never understood chemistry
 My good friends know that I never date people who know less than me
 But you don’t know and we’re not getting any younger
 But you don’t know and telling you would just take longer
 
 I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
 I’d teach you all about my life from side B to side A
 Fast forward, rewind… Whenever or never mind
