"Creep" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. Radiohead released "Creep" as their debut single in 1992, and it later appeared on their first album, Pablo Honey (1993). During its initial release, "Creep" was not a chart success. However, upon re-release in 1993, it became a worldwide hit. Attendees of Radiohead's early gigs often exhibited little interest in the band's other songs, causing the band to react against "Creep" and play it less often during the mid-to-late 1990s. In 1998, halfway through their OK Computer tour, the band dropped the song from set lists altogether. "Creep" was not played live again until 2001, but it has since reappeared several times on the band's live sets. In 2008, the song was included in the Radiohead: The Best Of compilation album.

 

When you were here before

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

 

You float like a feather

In a beautiful whirl

I wish I was special

You're so f... special

 

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

 

I don't care if it hurts

I want to have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

 

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

You're so f... special

I wish I was special

 

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

 

She's running out the door

She's running

She runs runs runs runs

Runs

Runs

 

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so f... special

I wish I was special

 

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't belong here
