Squeeze - Fingertips lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

You infiltrate my every hour

You bug me like a flea

I only wish I had the power

To cut you free of me

Like some crustacean on my hull

You stick with me and make life dull

How can I make you see

I'm in love with you

You typify the things to me

That I no longer do

So get a grip and let me be

And my life will improve

Leave me alone, get off my case

You're always there right in my face

But that is nothing new

I'm so in love with you

It's funny how I loved you like

The bottle at my lips

And when I fell off of my bike

My life had been eclipsed

By all the grief and disbelief there at your finger

At your fingertips

You hoover up the very words

I choose to throw away

I know some people never learn

So how can I complain

You hiss at me and make me shake

Like some old grumpy rattlesnake

Let's think this through again

I'm so in love with you
