Better to be
Bigger than the other
Heart on your sleeve
And hat on your head
I want to see you
Playing with your shadow
Hypnotise me
With every step
Oh, oh, oh
Falling asleep
Or sitting
At the doctor
I don't believe
A thing that he says
Ordinary people
Like I told you
Are following me
Everywhere
Bottle it up (4x)
Girl
You seemed so nice
But I'll be gone
By morning time
Baby, baby
I'll be gone
You fooled me
Once or twice
The boy inside
Can't unwind
Maybe
Maybe
I'll go home
Better to be
Looking for an answer
Out in the sea
And under your bed
I'll probably
Just leave
It to the morning
My energy
Is already spent
Bottle it up (8x)
Girl
You seemed so nice
But Ill be gone
By morning time
Baby, baby
I'll be gone
Fooled me
Once or twice
The boy inside
Can't unwind
Maybe, maybe
I'll go home
Spoiling appetite
Bigger eyes
Than belly size
Baby, baby
I'll be gone
You fooled me
Once or twice
The boy inside
Can't unwind
Maybe, maybe
I'll go home
