I phoned myself up last night
It's getting far too serious
I said that we could still be friends
I don't know why I said that
I didn't really mean it
I'd like to see the back of me
CHORUS
It's getting far too serious
It's getting far too serious
It's getting far too serious
I wrote myself a letter
Said things were going nowhere
And then I threw it on the floor
I saw the nine o' clock news
It's getting far too serious
I just can't watch it any more
CHORUS
I slept with myself one night
I didn't mean to do it
It kind of happened by mistake
But that was years ago now
It's getting far too serious
I see me every single day (and it's driving me insane)
CHORUS
I went to see my doctor
He said "It's far too serious -
I'm going to have to put you down"
And he prescribed an ocean
To pacify emotion
And I watched myself slowly drown (all over the town and ...)
CHORUS
CHORUS
