White Face, Red Cheeks

Found myself at a party just a little while ago
Had the pleasure to meet this girl, wasn�t anyone I know
Was a mismatch of the biggest size
Passing before my eyes, causing me to feel surprise

See this girl she knew somebody that a friend had had
She had some interesting things to say, in my opinion she was rather sad
Had lots of stories about herself and the world
Most of the stories were about the former, were about this girl

Liked to talk about herself and that was what she did
Apart from when she talked about this girl that this friend of mine had had

(She said that)
She had a, a certain type of appearance
She wasn�t very nice, in fact, she was quite clear
In what she said
She said something about this girl that this friend of mine had had
In fact, I would say it�s an insult but not the worst I�ve ever heard

(She had)
White face and red cheeks
White face and red cheeks
(Yes she had)

At this party
Never wanted to laugh so much in my whole life
I was surprised
Yeah, I was surprised
When I asked the others about this mismatch that I had seen
They said �Don�t know what you�re talking about man, you look quite lean.
�Have you been drinking just a little bit my friend?
�Are you causing yourself to be confused about what it is that you just said!?�
But I knew
Yeah, I knew
That these two they just weren�t right
There was something about them felt quite weird in the middle of the night

(She said)
White face and red cheeks
White face and red cheeks
(Yes she had)
