Look at me I’m such a basket case
To live and do you’re wrapped instead of fight
Waiting in on your doorstep, out your day
To deliver me a basket filled with pain
Patience is your virtue, sane of mind
I’d have fallen to the cracks without your love tonight
I’m your ground hole, and I’m skating on thin ice
When you see me at your feet, carry me inside
Eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh

How can you see I’m wrapped in cellophane?
Watch the blame I’m through night
Electricity flies high up bright
Can’t hide the pain
Can’t hide the pain
When you’re wrapped in cellophane

Look at me I’m such a basket case
While I fall apart, you hide on my pillows again
And all the things I need to hear you say
Your watch is on my thoughts
Can’t buy back on the drive
Eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh

How can you see I’m wrapped in cellophane?
Watch the blame I’m through night
Electricity flies high up bright
Can’t hide the pain
Can’t hide the pain
When you’re wrapped in cellophane

Oooooh

How can you see I’m wrapped in cellophane?
Watch the blame I’m through night
Electricity flies high up bright
Can’t hide the pain
Can’t hide the pain
When you’re wrapped in cellophane

You, you don’t like my hair
You don’t like what I wear
I’m trying, trying, you see I’m trying
Why you try to change me all the time?
You, you say I talk too much
I know it drives you nuts
You tell me you wish I was better, better, yeah
You roll your eyes forgetting I am in a room

[Chorus:]
You’re hurting me now, you take me down, you don’t even know it
You think it’s a joke but, baby, you don’t, you don’t even know it
You’re hurting me now, you take me down, you don’t even know it
You think it’s a joke but, baby, you don’t, you don’t even know it

You, you say I sing too loud
I want you to be proud
I want you screaming out, “That girl is mine, I love her, love her,”
But you’ve already tuned me out
You, you know these words you say
Are causing us decay
You feel like I’m withdrawing
I am running away
You’re pushing, you’re pushing me

[Chorus]

[Bridge x4:]
Don’t want you to blow it, you’re hurting me
I know you don’t know it

[Chorus]

You got me pushing imaginary buttons
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
You got me counting imaginary school children
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I can see that my carpet is animated
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I see you open wounds in everyone I’ve dated
Away from me lover, get away from me lover

I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do

You got me turning all the lights on and off
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
When will you see that I am carrying this stuff
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Can’t you see that I am losing my marbles
It’s marvellous losing another, losing another

I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do

Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
