What If I Say Please

So sentimentally arrayed.
Such a theatrical gesture.
These specialized effects, they fester.
So don't appeal me parading like a pantomime I mean.
It's unfeeling and I'm unwilling; let me be.
What if I say please?
What if I say please?
(What if I say...what if I say...what if I say...)
Cry your premeditated tears
So tenderly, so insincere.
Such feigned, calculated reasons
These warm smiles, they're freezing.
So don't appeal me parading like a pantomime I mean.
It's unfeeling and I'm unwilling; let me be.
So don't appeal me parading like a pantomime I mean.
It's unfeeling and I'm unwilling; let me be.
What if I say please?
What if I say please?
