Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Your neighbors were screaming
I don't have a key for downstairs
So I punched all the buzzers
Hoping you wouldn't be there
And now my head's hurting
You say I always get my own way
But you were in the shower when I got there
And I'd have wanted to stay
But I got nothing to say
You were so beautiful before today
And then I heard what you say, man, that was ugly
The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Frank's in there, and I don't care
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Just take it, take the box, take the box
...
I came home this evening
And nothing felt like how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter
But that's not me, you know me
Feel so fucking angry
Don't wanna be reminded of you
But when I left my shit in your kitchen
I said goodbye to your bedroom
That smelled of you
Mr. False Pretense, you don't make sense
I just don't know you
But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye?
I think I love you
The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Frank's in there, I don't care
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Now take it, take the box
Just take it, take it, take the box
And now just take the box, take the box
...
