Box Set Lyrics & Video

I never thought that you wouldlove me the way that you doI never thought that you wouldlove me half as much as I do.You say you want to knoweverything about me - well here you go,but if you want it girl, you got it;it's all right here in my box set.I never thought that words likeproduct would ever leave my lips,but something happened to mesomewhere that made me lose my grip.Maybe it's the lack of inspirationthat makes me stoop,or maybe it's a lack ofremuneration; I can't recoup.But if you want it folks, you got it;it's all right here in my box set.Disc One It's where we've begun, it's all<
br>my greatest hits, and if you are afan then you know that you'vealready got 'em.Disc Two It was all brand new, an album'sworth of songs, but we had toleave the whole disc blankbecause some other labelbought 'em.Disc Three This is really me in a gradeschool play; I had about ahundred thousand lines, bur ofcourse I forgot 'em.I never thought there'd be days like this,there was always someone at my door.I never thought I would ever missand the crowds would always holler for more.But now it seems all that peoplewant is what I used to beand every time I try to dosomething new, all they want is 1973.I never thought I'd be regretful ofall my past successbut some stupid number one hitsingle has got me in this mess.You can put it on everycompilation - that's alright.You can hear it on the oldies radiostation every night.And if you want it again, you got it- it's right here in my box set.Disc Four Never released before, and youcan tell why; it's just some demosI recorded in my basement.Disc Five I was barely alive, I wascoughing up a lung, so they had touse a special computer as myreplacement.Disc Six
A dance remix, so I can catch thelatest trend and it'll make youscratch your head and wonderwhere my taste went.So now my fans are crying sellout,they say I've lost my touch.They say I should just get the hellout before I do too much.Hear my songs in an ad for abathroom cleanser - they say it's greed,And now I'm wondering where myfriends are in this time of need.But if you change your mind andbuy it, I hope you enjoy my new box.I hope you enjoy my new box, Ihope you enjoymy new box set.
