Barenaked Ladies - Box Set lyrics

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
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
But if you want it girl, you've got it
It's all right here, in my box set

I never thought that words like product
Could ever leave my lips
But something happened to me somewhere that
Made me lose my grip or maybe it's a lack of
Inspiration that makes me stoop
Or maybe it's a lack of
Remuneration I can't recoup
But if you want it folks, you got it
It's all right here in my box set

Disc One: It's where we've begun
It's all my greatest hit's
And if you are a fan then you
Know that you've already got 'em 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 disc Three:
This is really me in a grade school play
I had about a hundred thousand lines
But of course I forgot 'em

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
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

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
You can put it on every compilation
That's alright you can hear it on the
Oldies radio station every night
And if you want it again, you got it
It's right here in my box set

Disc Four:
Never released before, and you can tell why
It's just some demos I
Recorded in my basement disc Five:
I was barely alive, I was hacking up a lung
So they had to use a
Special computer as my replacement disc Six:
A dance remix
So I can catch the latest trend
And it'll make you scratch
Your head and wonder where my taste went

So now my fans are crying sellout
They say that I've lost my touch
They say I should just get the hell
Out before I do too much
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
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
