I can't get rid of you I don't know what to do I don't even know who is growing on who 'cause everywhere I go you're there Can't get you out of my hair Can't pretend that I don't care, it's not fair I'm being punished for all my offenses I want to touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences I want to banish you from whence you came But you're part of me now And I've only got myself to blame You're really growing on me (or am I growing on you) You're really growing on me (or am I growing on you) Any fool can see Sleeping in an empty bed Can't get you off my head I won't have a life until you're dead Yes you heard what I said I want to shake you off but you just won't go And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone You're really growing on me (or am I growing on you) You're really growing on me (or am I growing on you) Any fool can see You're really growing on me (or am I growing on you) You're really growing on me (or am I growing on you)
