Obsessed - Intellectual

[VERSE 1]

Hello, my name is Lewis

I don’t know why I feel the need to have to do this

But I have got some things I need to tick off my list

I’ll try to keep it clean and promise to be honest

I cannot begin to imagine why you look up to me

When someone doesn’t like me – but I guess to you, it’s hard to see

You mean a lot to me – and in all honesty

When you’re not at home – my heart, it starts to feel empty

We’ve made so many memories and had a lot of good times

It hurts me when you leave the house and you keep saying goodbye

But I know you’ll be back, soon enough

So we can keep on having fun until the sun ain’t rising up

If anything gets said to you about me, then it ain’t true

People tell stories just to hurt you

If you’ve got any problems, I’m the man that you can turn to

‘Cause you know that I’ll never let you down (that’s not what I do)

[HOOK] (x2)

I don’t know why you’re so obsessed

With me...

[VERSE 2]

I’m sick of feeling sick and tired and sick of all the rumours

Everything I’ve heard about myself, I’m feeling humoured

My name is in your mouth, but that don’t make you cooler

You might call me a loser, but your life is one big blooper

If you were meant to try to tear me down, then you should try again

You should never darken my doorway to play pretend

We ain’t friends – that’s where it ends

I don’t mean to ‘cause you any offence

But you can take it as you like and if you choose to go and cry

Then do it somewhere I can’t see, because I know you’ll criticise

The things that I write saying that they are all lies

But we both know that they’re true… Ain’t that right?

There’s a saying, where they claim that obsession isn’t healthy

The thing is, if you start to talk about me, I’ll be wealthy

‘Cause I know you’ve got a following – but I ain’t chasing clout

I know there’s loads of doubt filling your head – I’m proud

[HOOK] (x2)

I don’t know why you’re so obsessed

With me...

[VERSE 3]

To me and many others, it would seem that you’re still holding on

To something that ain’t there and hasn’t been, for so long

You’ve met somebody else, so you should do us all a favour

Move on with your life, leave us alone so we ain’t need to

Speak to you – unless we actually need to

But I guess that won’t happen – I can’t stand you

You remind me of myself, sometimes

Back when I was a kid and I used to tell lies

To save my own skin, when I would get found out

Like when I’d hide money that was soon found out

But look at me now – I’m such a good role model

To your kids – what are you going to do, right now?

You’ll never turn ‘em against me – they’ve got their own minds

That they can make up themselves – and I don’t care if that grinds

On your mind all the time – it’s alright, they ain’t mine

I’d never take ‘em away – I ain’t that kind of guy

[HOOK] (x2)

I don’t know why you’re so obsessed

With me...
