I try to be careful with my words
You're all over me
Suffocating
I need to breathe
Door bell's ringing
CD you sent won't stop singing
How's that for being careful with words

Careful, careful

No more flowers at my door
I've started to ignore
The smell of moldy petals
I must confess you're desperate
To get my attention
Shoppers we are closing
Please go home

I try to be careful with my words
You're all over me
Suffocating
I need to breathe
Door bells ringing
CD you sent won't stop singing
How's that for being careful with words

First I was flattered by
All the attention
I wanted to see where this would go
Then you got weird on me
Obsessive to the third degree
'Til I was ready to explode

None of these words have been rehearsed
I don't think they can be reversed
Sadly, you told me you're tired
Only a matter of time
Before I have to confess what's on my mind
I told you where we're getting
Didn't I?

You're all over me
Suffocating
I need to breathe
Door bells ringing
CD you sent won't stop singing
How's that for being careful with words

You're all over me
Suffocating
I need to breathe
Door bells ringing
CD you sent won't stop singing
I was so careful
I ran out of words
