Basic - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I can't- can't say I'm into it, but who am I to moan?

I'm the saint, I'm the hypocrite, at your end of the phone

So make clear your interest, and make sure you're alone

'Cause I am dying

'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own

I'm fine, borderline, so bad it hurts

Think fast with your money 'cause it can't get much worse

I get told that I'm far too old for number one first

But it's well worth trying

I'm good in the neighbourhood, can play a big part

I bought this for a thought, for a kiss, for a tale of a broken heart

I guess we are a thing, and a him and a him, that they think is a start

That leaves me crying

'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own

I can't say I'm into it, but who am I to moan?

I'm the saint, I'm the hypocrite, at your end of the phone

So make clear your interest, and make sure you're alone

'Cause I am dying

'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own

We are only living our separate lives

Except we do the same things at the same times

I kept to the moral guidelines that you set

For now I'll step towards my leader and disguise my lies like I'm king set

Like I'm king set

I can't say I'm into it, but who am I to moan?

I'm the saint, I'm the hypocrite, at your end of the phone

So make clear your interest, and make sure you're alone

'Cause I am dying

'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own
