Buttons Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You got me pushing imaginary buttons
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
You got me counting imaginary school children
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I can see that your carpet is animated
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I see open wounds in everyone I've dated
Away from me lover, get away from me lover
[Chorus]
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
You got me turning all the lights on and off
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
When will you see that I am carrying this stuff
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Can't you see that I am losing my marbles
It's marvellous losing another, losing another
You got me pushing imaginary buttons
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
You got me counting imaginary school children
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I can see that your carpet is animated
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I see open wounds in everyone I've dated
Away from me lover, get away from me lover
[Chorus]
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
You got me turning all the lights on and off
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
When will you see that I am carrying this stuff
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Can't you see that I am losing my marbles
It's marvellous losing another, losing another
[Chorus]
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I am no good for you
I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
About
Genius Annotation
In this song, Sia is telling the failures she had in the matter of love. Although this song (from the album “Some People Have Real Problems”) is not a single, it gained attention for the video she made, in which Sia’s head became covered in pegs, nets and condoms and her face got distorted in many ways through the video.
Sia really wants to have a relationship but somehow she’s trying to push her lover away.
