Don't be afraid of me
I'm what you need
I saw you on the screens
I know we're meant to be
You're starring in my dreams
In magazines
You're looking right at me
I'm here around the clock
I'm waiting on your block
But please don't call the cops
They'll make me stop
And I just wanna talk
Bet I could change your life
You could be my wife
Could get into a fight
I'll say, "You're right,"
And you'll kiss me goodnight
I waited on the corner 'til I saw the sitter leave
Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
I came in through the kitchen looking for something to eat
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me
I tried to save you but I failed
Two fifty thousand dollar bail
While I'm away, don't read my mail
Just bring a veil
And come visit me in jail
I'll go back to the diner
I'll write another letter
I hope you'll read it this time
You better
The cops around the corner stopped me when I tried to leave
They told me I was crazy and they knocked me off my feet
They came in through the kitchen looking for something discrete
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me
It was me
I memorized your number, now I call you when I please
I tried to end it all, but now I'm back up on my feet
I saw you in the car with someone else and couldn't sleep
If something happens to him, you can bet that it was me

It's very interesting how they've worked in built in fan promo stuff to the song itself. Gotta give Billie and her brother Finneas credit for that one. Evidently the phone number at the end of the song when dialed is answered by a recording and when entered into WhatsApp will enable them to send further promo stuff to their fans. Crafty...
So, The more I hear of the Eilish kids, the more I like. The Vocoder stuff gets old until you Listen to it as another instrument instead of Lyrics sung electronically.
Thanks for keeping me hip!
