Lyrics Box Set - Barenaked Ladies

Box Set

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 want to know everything about me well here you go But if you want it girl you got it;
Its all right here in my box set.
I never thought that words like product would ever leave my lips
But something happened to me somewhere that made me lose my grip.
Maybe its a lack of inspiration that makes me stoop,
Or maybe its a lack of remuneration;
I cant recoup.
But if you want it folks, you got it;
Its all right here in my box set.
Disc One
Its where weve begun, its all my greatest hits, and if you are a fan then you
Know that youve already got em.
Disc Two
It was all brand new, an albums worth of songs, but we had to leave the whole
Disc blank because 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 forogt em.
I never thought thered 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 Id be regretful of all my past success
But some stupid number one hit single has got me in this mess.
You can put it one every compilation -- thats alright.
You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night.
And if you want it again, you got it -- its right here in my box set.
Disc Four
Never released before, and you can tell why;
its just some demos I recoreded
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 itll make you scratch your
Head and wonder where my taste went.
So now my fans are crying sellout,
They say Ive 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 its greed,
And now Im 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.
