You're a candy-coated Beelzebub
Firing darts tipped with poisoned love
And the public can't stomach them enough, oh, oh
You're a radio blasting my favorite song
But the lyrics all sound hackneyed and wrong
And I haven't figured out how to sing along, oh, oh
So help me out
I can't quite shake you from my mind
You're a sunny decal on a weather map
Just blindingly reminding me that I don't have
The luxury that spills into your lap, oh, oh
God help me out
Well, I've tried and tried to unwrap the enigma that is you
I've stacked a world of wealth upon myself
But there's one thing I can't do
I can't quite shake you from my mind
Could you carry on if you were turned off, now
Or would you burst at the seams?
Would the smile that glows upon your face frown
And would I know what that means?
