Wrap me up in cellophane Tears dropping on the window pane Why do I feel all this pain Nothing is the same Nothing will be again Why’d you have to runaway I hope you come back someday Now all im left with is novocaine Yet I still feel all this pain The light went out Everything is dark Then it begins to start Just a part a piece something like jewelry Glints n glimmers Like diamonds to a thief Oh it’s shining yeah baby Wrap me up in cellophane Can’t escape what’s in my brain Thought the high would numb the pain But it only made it plain to see That nothing’s ever the same you see You said you’d never run away Now I’m waiting every day For some sign or twist of fate Guess I’m stuck with novocaine But I still feel all this pain The light went out Everything was gone But shadows tend to linger on Just a part, a piece Of something like jewelry Glints and glimmers Like diamonds to thieves Oh it’s shining, yeah baby We hit jackpot It’s raining diamonds But they’re heavy when they drop And wrap me up in cellophane Keep me on display Pretty, fragile, somewhat strange Like I might crack if I misbehave You treat love like an arcade Coins and chances, games you played Every win came with a trade Till the prizes all decayed (Cellophane Refrain) Cellophane, cellophane See right through me anyway If I break it’s on display Tell me, was I worth the pain? (Outro twist) And if you ever come back someday I’ll still taste the novocaine And maybe nothing’s really changed Just wrapped in cellophane again
