Bathwater
No Doubt Lyrics

You and your museum of lovers
You have a collection of past romantic conquests which you hold dear.

The precious collection you've housed in your covers
You have kept this collection of ex-lovers ‘covered’ and safe.

My simpleness threatened by my own admission
I feel that my naivety about your past lovers is putting our relationship at risk.

And the bags are much too heavy
I feel weighed down by my insecurity.

In my insecure condition
I am currently feeling very insecure.

My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again
My mind is filled with jealousy and I feel it strongly.

But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Despite my insecurities, I still love being close to you.

Love to think that you couldn't love another
I am comforted by the thought of you being faithful to me.

I can't help it, you're my kind of man
I can't help but be attracted to men like you.

Wanted and adored by attractive women
You are desired and admired by many beautiful women.

Bountiful selection at your discretion
You have many options to choose from when it comes to romantic partners.

I know I'm diving into my own destruction
I am aware that pursuing a relationship with you may lead to my own downfall, but I can't resist.

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
Why do we continue to choose men who we know are not good for us?

I don't fit in so why do you want me?
I feel like I don't belong with you and your other admirers, so why are you interested in me?

I know I can't tame you, but I just keep trying
I know you are not easily ‘tamed,’ but I keep hoping that my influence will make a difference.

'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
I love being close to you, even if it means being reminded of your past lovers.

I'm on your list with all your other women
I know I am not the only woman vying for your attention.

You make me feel like I couldn't love another
You make me feel so special that I couldn't imagine loving anyone else.

Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?
Why is it that women are often attracted to men who are considered ‘bad?’

So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
I try to solve our relationship issues with affection and intimacy.

Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Despite my best efforts, I remain skeptical and uncertain about our relationship.

Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions
I often feel conflicted and hypocritical in regards to our relationship.

Share a toothbrush, you're my kind of man
I am so close to you that I am comfortable sharing personal items, such as a toothbrush.

No, I can't help myself
I am unable to control my emotions and attraction to you.

I still love to wash in your old bathwater
I still love being close to you despite any discomforts or insecurities.

Ooh
