In looking up the lyrics to post for this song, I have learned that Thom Yorke describes this song as being about a drunk guy who can't get up the nerve to talk to a beautiful lady, and so follows her around. So... yeah. Turns out that Creep puts the creep in creepy. Also, Yorke was all, "it's hard to be a sensitive dude and still be seen as sexy," which might have some legitimacy to it but also sounds dangerously close to complaining about being friendzoned all the time. I smack my forehead. (But will still sing along with the song.) (Source)

CREEP
by Radiohead
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
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 fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
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 fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
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
