I can't get rid of you
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who
'cause everywhere I go you're there
Can't get you out of my hair
Can't pretend that I don't care, it's not fair

I'm being punished for all my offenses
I want to touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I want to banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yes you heard what I said

I want to shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
