Commercial Alternative Lyrics

Teenage Fanclub

I wanna thank you, cause I'm a mess
I wanna thank you, the way you dress
I wanna thank you, for staying here
I wanna thank you, I love you dear

Now I know you
like I know you
like I'm going to

I wanna thank you, for staying cool
I wanna thank you, cause I'm a fool
I wanna thank you, where have you been?
I wanna thank you, I love your scene

Now I know you
like I know you
like I'm going to
