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
