like a waterbed in summer
like a movie star but dumber
backbone like a marshmallow
that's why they call me shallow

i'm shallow
i ain't deep
not donavan's yellow
i'm not mellow

i'm sorry you're too fat for me
i wouldn't want my friends to see
you
with me

i am shallow
it's what's on my arm that matters
i am shallow
you'd find your life in tatters

i ain't deep
don't dive in
you're gonna hit the bottom
take one on the chin

i'm shallow
i ain't deep
no one should know
and i'm not your fellow
