Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You say you wanna know everything about me
Well, here you go
You say you couldn't live your life without me
I don't know
[Verse 3]
But if you want it, girl, you got it
It's all right here, in my box set
[Verse 4]
I never thought that words like product
Could ever leave my lips
But something happened to me somewhere
That made me lose my grip
[Verse 5]
Or maybe it's a lack of inspiration
That makes me stoop
Or maybe it's a lack of remuneration
I can't recoup
[Verse 6]
But if you want it, folks, you got it
It's all right here, in my box set
[Verse 7]
Disc one, it's where we've begun
It's all my greatest hits
And if you are a fan, then you know
That you've already got 'em
[Verse 8]
Disc two, it was all brand new
An album's worth of songs
But we had to leave the whole disc blank
'Cause some other label bought 'em
[Verse 9]
Disc three, oh, this is really me
In a grade school play
I had about a hundred thousand lines
But of course I forgot 'em
[Verse 10]
I never thought there'd 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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
I never thought I'd be regretful
Of all my past success
But some stupid number one hit single
Has got me in this mess
[Verse 13]
You can put it on every compilation
That's alright
You can hear it on the oldies radio station
Every night
[Verse 14]
And if want it again, you got it
It's right here, in my box set
[Verse 15]
Disc four, I never released before
And you can tell why
It's just some demos
I recorded in my basement
[Verse 16]
The disc five, I was barely alive
I was hacking up a lung
So they had to use a special computer
As my replacement
[Verse 17]
Disc six, a dance remix
I can catch the latest trend
And it'll make you scratch you head
And wonder where my taste went
Uh-huh, yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 18]
So now my fans are crying, sellout
They say I've lost my touch
They say I should just get the hell out
Before I do too much, uh-uh
[Verse 19]
Well, hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser
They say it's greed
And now I'm wondering where my friends are
In this time of need
[Verse 20]
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
