[music] [music] Oh, that was pretty. >> [music] [music] [music] >> Daylight. All right. I don't know. I don't know [music] if it's real. It's been a long night and something ain't right. You won't show. [music] You won't show how you feel. Daylight turns into [music] night. We try and find the answer, but it's nowhere inside. [music] It's always the same. And you know who's to blame. You know what I'm saying? Still, we keep on playing head games. [music] That's all I get from you. Head games. And I can't take [music] it anymore. Head games. Don't want to play no head games. [music] [bell] >> You know, I I really hate parties. I I never know what to do, >> especially around girls. >> Pretty weird, huh? >> That's why I wear this mask to sort of blend in. You know, lots of people think I'm pretty quiet, but behind this, the there's really a lot going on. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode. >> Oh, hi. Don't you think parties are fun? You know, life's kind of like a party. I guess that's the problem with life. I guess that's my problem, too. I always feel like I have to impress everybody. I feel like I have to make a good impression or they won't like me. Oh, that's a terrible thought. It hurts my head. Patricia. Hi. >> I think we got something to settle. >> Hey man, came to a party, not to fight. >> Yeah, I didn't think you had it in you. >> Where you going, punk? You think I'm tough? >> Everybody else does. Well, you'd be tough, too, if you folks didn't care about you. >> This mask is my shield. I've been the tough guy as long as I can remember. I couldn't take it off now, even if I wanted to. >> So far away, we pass each other [music] by cuz we don't know what to say. It's so clear. I'm sorry to say, but [music] if you want to win, you got to learn how to play head games. It's you and me, baby. Head games. [music] And I can't take it anymore. Head games. [music] I don't want to play the head games. Susie, this party's really dry. Let's go somewhere where there's not so many people. >> I'd really like to be alone with you tonight. >> Oh, yeah. >> I want to be tonight. >> I know why this guy asked me out. I know why they all asked me out. >> I'd do anything to get a guy who really cares about me, though. a guy who wants me for something besides. >> Well, maybe someday I'll get lucky and I can find out what love really is. [music] I can't take it anymore. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh, this is a great point. [music] [music] >> Hey, can you believe the people at this party think I'm weird? I mean, look at how messed up the world is. And they're still playing their little games. And I'm not trying to say I got it all together or anything, but at least I'm different from them. >> Give me that again. >> I'll tell you exactly why I wear my mask. Just look at me. I I bulge in all the wrong places. I'm too short. My nose is too small to sit there. >> Do you really think that they could like me for who I really am? >> Mr. Way, >> I didn't even like myself. And if I didn't do something to get their attention, they wouldn't give me the time of day. >> Oh, >> so my mask is what make me special. I Please. >> [panting] [gasps] >> You're right, dear. You better hurry. You better hurry. Hurry. Hurry. You better hurry. You better hurry. You better hurry. You better hurry. You better hurry. Hurry. What? [laughter] Hey, hey, hey.
