Early mixes of this song were called "Rio" because of its striking similarity to the Duran Duran tune, and later mixes in the studio were referred to as "Box" because of the motion of the guitarists' hands on the guitar neck.

Album Version

One of us Won't last the night Between you and me it's no surprise And there's two of us Both can't be right Neither will move till it’s over I'm the center of attention In the walls inside my head And no one will ever know it If I keep my mouth shut tight My own little world Is what I deserve Cause I am the only child there is A king of it all The belle of the ball I promise I've always been like this Forever the first My bubble can't burst It's almost like only I exist Where everything's mine If I can keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight All by myself I'm so much better on my own And way out there Oh oh oh It is the same old place that it always has been I'm the center of attention In the walls inside my head And no one will ever know it If I keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight My own little world Is what I deserve Cause I am the only child there is A king of it all The belle of the ball I promise I've always been like this Forever the first My bubble can't burst It's almost like only I exist Where everything's mine If I can keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight One of us Won't last the night Between you and me it's no surprise And there's two of us Both can't be right Neither will move till it's over I'm the center of attention In the walls inside my head And no one will ever know it If I keep my mouth shut tight Yeah no one will ever notice If I keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight My own little world Is what I deserve Cause I am the only child there is A king of it all The belle of the ball I promise I've always been like this Forever the first My bubble can't burst It's almost like only I exist Where everything's mine If I can keep my mouth shut tight tight, tight
