Barenaked Ladies Shoebox song lyrics

A key in the door, a step on the floor

A note on the table, and a meal in the micro

Note says Im in bed, please make sure that youre fed

If youre taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe

When Im 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

Its under my bed, its never been read

Its 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 Im someone

Whos not seventeen, doesnt know what you mean

When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

Chorus

Did somebody tell you

This is how its supposed to be?

Or did you just find it

And you dont want any more from me?

Chorus

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

Thats 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 Im sorry, but I cant tell you the truth, dear

And what if I could -- would it do any good?

Youll still never get to see the contents of

Chorus

Youre so nineteen-ninety

And its nineteen-ninety-four

Leave this world behind me

cause you dont want me anymore.
