Barenaked Ladies – Shoe Box

Barenaked Ladies – Shoe Box Lyrics

Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Song: Shoe Box

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 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
My shoe box of lies

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
My shoe box of lies

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
