So here am I Quite by chance near the phone I could call and make you crawl into bed Questions always questions I'll just speak in slow motion About obsessions with boys on the floor Take that smile off your face Wipe that tear from your eye Don't say sorry for me Take that smile off your face Wipe that tear from your eye Don't say sorry for me Now look at me Like a stormtrooper in drag I'll bet you feel exactly like I do It's so disgusting I'm so tired of Rhythm and needles in arms I don't want your point of view Nothing to do Nothing to steal And there's nothing to say Nothing to do Nothing to steal And there's nothing to say Oh, don't cry Love it, love it I need to Stop it
