Lyrics

Always

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 You
