I Don't Like Pictures
Lyrics
I don't like pictures
I don't like pictures of me
I don't like pictures
I don't like pictures of me

Bad haircuts, bad sweaters
You know I've have had a few
Remind me of all the chances
That I had and I blew
I don't like pictures unless they're pictures of you

I don't like pictures
I don't like pictures of me
I don't like pictures
I don't like pictures of me

Best buddies, distant cousins
That I barely knew
You paint a smile on and act all happy
For a second or two
I don't like pictures unless they're pictures of you

All I need are my fond memories
Manipulate them
Store and rate them
Re-create them
As tailor-made realities
Do as I please

I don't like pictures
I don't like pictures of me
I don't like pictures
I don't like pictures of me

I don't like them; I don't trust them
Their slanted point of view
The injustice of forced smiling
Is so painfully true
All I need is a big fat picture of you
All I need is a big fat picture of you
