I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard [bad word] that you'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you

He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him

You're begging for the [bad word] So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case

I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you

I'm just a basket case and that what we do

You're begging for the [bad word] So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case

Won't [bad word] on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore

You're begging for the [bad word] So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
