Shoe Box Lyrics

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
My shoe box (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 And doesn't know what you mean When talk turns to Single malts or Stilton or
My shoe box (Shoe box) My shoe box of lies
Shoe box [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/shoe-box-lyrics-barenaked-ladies.html ] (Shoe box) Shoe box of lies
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?
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 goodbye I can tell you I'm sorry But I can't tell the truth, dear
And what if I could Would it do any good? You'll still never get To see the contents of
My shoe box (Shoe box) My shoe box of lies
Shoe box (Shoe box) My shoe box of lies
You're so nineteen ninety And it's nineteen ninety four Leave this world behind me 'Cause you don't want me anymore
Lie, lie, lie, lie Lie, lie, lie Lie, lie, lie, lie
