Chorus
Everyday, I’m working, working, working on me
Constantly, I’m holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
Verse 1
I’m paranoid, I’m paralysed
I’m half-alive behind the eye
I’m tipsy, tipping on razor edge
Don’t let the lines inside my head
My mother told me, “Let it go
You’ve done enough, just let it go”
But, every night, I fantasise
Of kissing it just one more time (Oh, oh)
Pre-Chorus
Painted nails and late-night cells
Girls and boys all in Hell
Baby, touch me, let’s get ugly
I don’t think I’m ready to fall
Chorus
Everyday, I’m working, working, working on me
Constantly, I’m holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
Everyday, I’m working, working, working on me
I’m over here just crying, crying, crying the sheets down?
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
Verse 2
I’ve been dancing, but I can’t dance
I’m in fashion, monkey on my back
Every second is a test, and I’ll take it
It’s a pity never been an academic
Pre-Chorus
Painted nails and late-night cells
Girls and boys all in Hell
Baby, touch me, let’s get ugly
I don’t think I’m ready to fall
Chorus
Everyday, I’m working, working, working on me
Constantly, I’m holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
Everyday, I’m working, working, working on me
I’m over here just crying, crying, crying the sheets down?
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
Outro
Ahh
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Monkey on my back
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) Oh
Bad for my health
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
Ahh
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Monkey on my back
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) Oh
Bad for my health
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, hell, I’m shadowboxing myself
