One, two, three, four
I should've known
With a boy like you, your middle name is Always
I'd always love you
Uh-huh, yeah
You let the needle drop
I think that you could do so much better
Those conventions are taking their toll on you
The phantom
Is disguised
It's horrifyin'
Right before your eyes
The phantom
Is inside
And I should've known
With a boy like you, your middle name is Always
I'd always want you
Uh-huh, yeah
The phantom
Is disguised
It's horrifyin'
Right before your eyes
The phantom
Is inside
It's hideous
Right before your eyes
The phantom
He's watchin'
You
The phantom
Is watchin' you
