I never thought that you would love me the way that you do.
I never thought that you would love me half as much as I do.
You say you wanna know everything about me - well here you go,
You say you couldn´t live your life without me, I don´t know.
But if you want it girl, you´ve got it;
it´s all right here, in my box set.

I never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips,
but something happened to me somewhere that made me lose my grip.
Maybe it´s a lack of inspiration that makes me stoop,
or maybe it´s a lack of remuneration; 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 of greatest hits,
and if you are a fan then you know that you´ve already got ´em.

Disc Two
It was all brand new, an album´s worth of songs,
but we had to leave the whole disc blank ´cause
some other label bought ´em.

Disc Three
This is really me in a grade school play;
I had about a hundred thousand lines but of course 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 miss, and the crowd would always holler for more.
But now it seems all that people want is what I used to be,
and every time I try to do something new,
all they want is 1973.

I never thought I´d be regretful of all my past success
but some stupid number one hit single has go me in this mess.
You can put it on every compilation - that´s alright.
You can hear it on the oldies radio station 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 you can tell why.
it´s just some demos I recorded in my basement.

Disc Five
I was barely alive, I was coughing up a lung,
so they had to use a special computer as my replacement.

Disc Six
A dance remix, so I can catch the latest trend
and it´ll make you scratch your head and wonder
where my taste went.

So now my fans are crying sellout,
they say that I´ve lost my touch.
They say I should just get the hell out before I do too much.
Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser -
they say it´s greed,
And now I´m wondering where my friends are in this time of need.
But if you change your mind and buy it,
I hope you enjoy my new box.

I hope you enjoy my new box,
I hope you enjoy my new box set.
