BARENAKED LADIES lyrics : "Shoe Box (Radio Remix)"

A key in the door, a step on the floor
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says "I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed

if you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
When I'm asleep I dream you move in next week"
I crumple the note and save it to put inside


Chorus:
My shoe box

Shoe box of lies
Shoe box
Shoe box of lies


it's under my bed, it's never been read
it's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there

From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone
Who's not seventeen, doesn't know what you mean

When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

Chorus


Did somebody tell you
This is how it's supposed to be?

Or did you just find it
And you don't want any more from me?


Chorus

Was it something I said, or was it something you read

That's making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye.
I can tell you I'm sorry, But I can't tell you the truth, dear

And what if I could -- would it do any good?
You'll still never get to see the contents of


Chorus

You're so nineteen-ninety

And it's nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me
'Cause you don't want me anymore.
