lyrics

I can't stop this strange affliction, like a class-A drug addiction, it’s taken over me
There's a tone often detected, something subtly inflected, a hint of irony
Much like that song by Alanis Morrisette, played it so much, I'd worn out the cassette

I was being sarcastic, being sarcastic
I was being sarcastic, being sarcastic
It’s not that impressive
Passively aggressive
Why do I behave this way?
Contemptuousness is the
Part of my charisma
Deep within my DNA
I think it's fantastic, being sarcastic

Even if I try my utmost, and I say I love your nut roast, that seems insincere
We stayed in and watched a Chick Flick, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, your look is austere
When I say I like your hair, I really like your hair but even I can hear, it sounds like I don’t care

I wasn't being sarcastic, being sarcastic
I wasn't being sarcastic, being sarcastic
It’s not that impressive
Passively aggressive
Why do I behave this way?
Contemptuousness is the
Part of my charisma
Deep within my DNA
I think it's fantastic, being sarcastic

You announce you've reached your wits' end, won't tolerate or contend, can't take anymore
That you plan to pack a suitcase, take the dog and find a new place, straight out the front door
I fall to my knees, I’m begging you to stay and then the look in your eyes gives it all away

You were being sarcastic, being sarcastic
You were being sarcastic, being sarcastic
I think it's impressive
Passively aggressive
Glad that you behave this way
Contemptuousness is the
Part of your charisma
Deep within your DNA
I’ve learnt my lesson this time
(No, he’s being sarcastic)
I really, really mean what I'm say
(No, he’s being sarcastic)
I think it's fantastic, being sarcastic
