Lyrics of
Creep

Creep was written by Thom Yorke about his personal self-image and feeling of not belonging. The inspiration came after experiencing looking at someone he was attracted to from afar but not having the courage to approach her. It became a 90s anthem of self-loathing.

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eyes
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather in a beautiful world
I wish I was special, you're so fucking special
!--Chorus-- (play loud)
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here
!--Verse 2--
I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special, I wish I was special
!--Chorus-- (play loud)
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here
!--Bridge-- (play loud)
Oooh, oooh, she's running out the door
She's running out, she run, run, run
Ruuuuuuuun
Ruuuuuuuuuuun
!--Verse 3-- (play soft until the end)
Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want
You're so fucking special, I wish I was special
!--Chorus--
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here
I don't belong here
