Come on I read a book from back to front It made a deep impression Near 20000 pages, baby And I hope for some direction I stood before the mirror And I stared at my reflection I'd almost disappeared And I made no impression I went down to my baby's house And I sat down on the step Said: "2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?" My baby looked me in the eye My nails were bitten to the quick She said she used to love me all night long But you've gotten so thin and sick
I'm gonna send you a love bomb I'm gonna send you a love bomb
I read that book from back to front Yea, looking for some inspiration I've been listening to the radio Trying to find some self-expression I've been listening to the Woman's Hour I've been listening to Gardener's Question Time But everything I try to grow... I can't even grow a dandelion! Yea I've been watching the MTV And I've been watching the BBC Yeah I've been searching on the internet I'm gettin' so thin and sick
I'm gonna send you a love bomb I'm gonna send you a love bomb Love bomb
I went to my baby's house I sat down on the step Yeah I went down to my baby's house And I lay down on the step She said: "What are you doing here?" I said I've been tryin' to make some sense But every action that I take Is of absolutely no fucking consequence My baby said she can't see that She reached down with her fingers Her fingers went right through me I screamed my head off I was so thin and sick
Gonna send you a love bomb Gonna send you a love bomb
