He Said I Look Ugly When I'm Tired

He Said I Look Ugly When I'm Tired

This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. It's one of the chopped up songs - it's about that trip to Germany the last two songs are about. We were in an airport in Munich (I think it was Munich), and I was all tired from not being able to sleep on the plain. My eyes were all baggy. Mean-Boyfriend-Man made fun of me and said stuff that implied that I looked ugly when I'm tired. He got all mean and angry when I wanted him to take it back. Shoot, man, I hope this album isn't sounding whiny. The story starts movin' along at a hearty clip pretty soon. Or, well, at least, I think it does.

The lyrics are:

He said I look ugly when I'm tired

He said I look ugly when I'm tired

I told him that it hurt my feelings and it made me sad

He got all mad at me - he got so very, very mad

He said I'm ugly when I'm tired

We were waiting for a connecting flight

In Munich airport and I took a hike

I walked to the bathroom and I

Looked in the mirror and I said, "oh, my!"

My eyes were so very puffy

But I thought I was still pretty and stuff, see

Then I told Mister Boyfriend Man that

I look really tired, and I can't be-

Lieve what he said next - he said I

Look like a corpse and I already died

He said I look ugly and stuff,

I said, "take it back." - he said enough

He is tired of my sensitivity

When I cry, he gets especially mean

So, I'll put my feelings away

Then he will not be irritated

He said I look ugly when I'm tired
