Lyrics
0:10Faces and names
0:12I wish they were the same
0:14Faces and names only 'cause trouble for me
0:20Faces and names
0:26If we all looked the same
0:29And we all had the same name
0:31I wouldn't be jealous of you or you jealous of me
0:38Faces and names
0:43I always fall in love with someone who looks
0:48The way I wish that I could be
0:53I'm always staring at someone who hurts
0:58And the one they hurt is me
1:03Faces and names
1:06To me they're all the same
1:08If I looked like you and you looked like me
1:14There'd be less trouble you'd see
1:21Faces and names
1:23I wish they'd go away
1:25I'd disappear into that wall and never talk
1:32Talk now talk
1:38I wish I was a robot or a machine
1:43Without a feeling or a thought
1:48People who want to meet the name I have
1:52Are always disappointed in me
2:17Faces and names
2:19I wish they were the same
2:22Faces and names only 'cause problems for me
2:28Faces and names
2:34I'd rather be a hole in the wall
2:37Looking on the other side
2:39I'd rather look and listen listen not talk
2:45To faces and names
2:52If I had a breakdown when I was a kid
2:57And I lost my hair when I was young
3:01If you dress older when you are not
3:06As your really age you look the same
3:17If we all looked the same
3:19We wouldn't play these games
3:22Me dressing for you you dressing for me
3:27Undressing for me
3:34Faces and names
3:36If they all were the same
3:39You wouldn't be jealous of me or me jealous of you
3:44Me jealous of you you jealous of you
3:50Your face and your name
3:55Your face and your name
4:00Faces and names
4:05Faces and names
Faces and names I wish they were the same Faces and names only 'cause trouble for me Faces and names If we all looked the same And we all had the same name I wouldn't be jealous of you or you jealous of me Faces and names I always fall in love with someone who looks The way I wish that I could be I'm always staring at someone who hurts And the one they hurt is me Faces and names To me they're all the same If I looked like you and you looked like me There'd be less trouble you'd see Faces and names I wish they'd go away I'd disappear into that wall and never talk Talk now talk I wish I was a robot or a machine Without a feeling or a thought People who want to meet the name I have Are always disappointed in me Faces and names I wish they were the same Faces and names only 'cause problems for me Faces and names I'd rather be a hole in the wall Looking on the other side I'd rather look and listen listen not talk To faces and names If I had a breakdown when I was a kid And I lost my hair when I was young If you dress older when you are not As your really age you look the same If we all looked the same We wouldn't play these games Me dressing for you you dressing for me Undressing for me Faces and names If they all were the same You wouldn't be jealous of me or me jealous of you Me jealous of you you jealous of you Your face and your name Your face and your name Faces and names Faces and names
