I never thought that you would love me the way that you do.
|
I never thought that you would love me half as much as I do.
|
You say you wanna know everything about me - well here you go,
|
You say you couldn't live your life without me, I don't know.
|
But if you want it girl, you've got it;
|
it's all right here, in my box set.
|
|
I never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips,
|
but something happened to me somewhere that made me lose my grip.
|
Maybe it's a lack of inspiration that makes me stoop,
|
or maybe it's a lack of remuneration; I can't recoup.
|
But if you want it folks, you got it;
|
it's all right here in my box set.
|
|
Disc One
|
It's where we've begun, it's all of greatest hits,
|
and if you are a fan then you know that you've already got 'em.
|
|
Disc Two
|
It was all brand new, an album's worth of songs,
|
but we had to leave the whole disc blank 'cause
|
some other label bought 'em.
|
|
Disc Three
|
This is really me in a grade school play;
|
I had about a hundred thousand lines but of course I forgot 'em.
|
|
I never thought there'd be days like this, there was always someone at my door.
|
I never thought I would ever miss, and the crowd would always holler for more.
|
But now it seems all that people want is what I used to be,
|
and every time I try to do something new,
|
all they want is 1973.
|
|
I never thought I'd be regretful of all my past success
|
but some stupid number one hit single has go me in this mess.
|
You can put it on every compilation - that's alright.
|
You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night.
|
And if you want it again, you got it-
|
it's right here in my box set.
|
|
Disc Four
|
Never released before, and you can tell why.
|
it's just some demos I recorded in my basement.
|
|
Disc Five
|
I was barely alive, I was coughing up a lung,
|
so they had to use a special computer as my replacement.
|
|
Disc Six
|
A dance remix, so I can catch the latest trend
|
and it'll make you scratch your head and wonder
|
where my taste went.
|
|
So now my fans are crying sellout,
|
they say that I've lost my touch.
|
They say I should just get the hell out before I do too much.
|
Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser -
|
they say it's greed,
|
And now I'm wondering where my friends are in this time of need.
|
But if you change your mind and buy it,
|
I hope you enjoy my new box.
|
|
I hope you enjoy my new box,
|
I hope you enjoy my new box set.
