Snowman Lyrics by XTC

English Settlement

1982

[Verse 1]
It isn't even winter but I'm freezing, freezing
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why, oh why does she treat me like a snowman?

It isn't even winter but I'm freezing, freezing
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why, oh why does she treat me like a snowman?

[Chorus]
She's been building me
Up quite steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently
Froze in history
All ice water is tears and tears and tears and tears

She treats me far too frosty
This hanging on has cost me dear

[Verse 2]
It isn't even winter, but I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
And what I want to know, man
Why, oh why does she treat me like a snowman?

It isn't even winter, but I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
And what I want to know
Why, oh why does she treat me like a snowman?
Ha!

[Chorus]
She's been building me
Up steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently
Froze in history
All ice water is tears and tears and tears and tears

She treats me far too frosty
This hanging on has cost me

[Bridge]
It seems you would say I was too soft hearted
If you made a dunce cap, I'd don it
People will always be tempted to wipe their feet
On anything with "Welcome" written on it

[Verse 3]
It isn't even winter but I'm freezing, freezing
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why, oh why does she treat me like a snowman?
Ha!

It's just a little winter but I'm shivering, shivering
I'm waiting for the love that's not delivering
And what I want to know
Why, oh why does she treat me like a snowman?
Ha!

[Outro]
(Why, oh why?) Does she treat me, does she treat me
(Why, oh why?) Does she treat me, does she treat me
(Why, oh why?) Does she treat me like a snowman
(Why, oh why?) Just like a snowman
