B                          E
Please stop calling on my cell
                       A
I've got enough voice mails
                   E
Don't you get the picture
I don't return your
B                  E
Emails IM or your text
              A              E
Messages are getting boring fast
   C#m                      E
I tried to careful with my words

Chorus:
       G#m             E
You're all over me suffocating
B                     F#
I need to breathe doorbell's ringing
G#m                 E
CD you sent won't stop singing
B                     F#
How's that for being careful with words
B E       A        E
   Careful, careful

No more flowers at my door
I've started to ignore
The smell of moldy petals
I must confess, you're desperate to get my attention
Shoppers we are closing, please go home
I try to be careful with my words

Chorus

G#m          E
First I was flattered by
B            F#
All the intention I
G#m        E                    B F#
wanted to see where this would go
G#m           E
Then you got weird on me
  B          F#
Obsessive at 3rd degree
G#m         E           B   F#
Till I was ready to explode

None of these words have been rehearsed
I don't think they can be reversed
Sadly it's only one-sided
Only a matter of time before I
Have to confess what's on my mind
I told you where we were getting
Didn't I? (Didn't I?)

Chorus:
You're all over me, suffocating
I need to breathe, doorbells ringing
CD you sent, won't stop singing
How's that for being careful with words?
You're all over me, suffocating
I need to breathe, doorbells ringing
CD you sent, won't stop singing
I was so careful I ran out of words
