I've got a bug inside and it is just a little housefly

I got a bug inside, it tickles like a butterfly

I've got a worm that's mine and crawls around my whole inside

And when I don't feel right it feels just like a parasite

A bug, get it

A bug, kill it

And you will never know how it feels to light up the sky

And you will never know how it feels to be a firefly

My body is a jar for a special insect caught inside it

Sometimes it lights me up but I would never let you know it

Sometimes it crawls around and makes me laugh when I am down

I don't wanna let it out, yet I am greedy little bug

A bug, kill it

A bug, get it

And you will never know how it feels to light up the sky

And you will never know how it feels to be a firefly

Sometimes I look for a safe place to keep my little bug

Sometimes it flutters around trapped and I feel so sad

But I know what would happen if I ever let go of it

I think that this cruel world would surely kill it

A bug, kill it

A bug, get it

And you will never know how it feels to light up the sky

And you will never know how it feels to be a firefly

And you will never know how it feels to light up the night

And you will never know how it feels to be a firefly
