Afghan Whigs, The - Creep Lyrics






The 22nd of loneliness
and we've been through so many thangs
I love my girl with all honesty
But I know she's cheatin' on me
I look her in the eyes
but all she tells me are lies that keep me near
I'll never leave her down
though I might mess around
it's only 'cause I need some affection

So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed to know
So I creep yeah
'Cause she doesn't know what I do
and no attention goes to show

The 23rd of loneliness
And we don't talk like we used to do
Now it seems pretty strange
but I'm not buggin'
'cause I still feel the same yeah yeah
I'll keep giving loving
Till the day she pushes me away
Never go astray
If she knew the things I did
She couldn't handle it
So I choose to keep her protected

So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed to know
So I creep yeah
'Cause she doesn't know what I do
and no attention goes to show

I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around with my affection
I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around
Oh I oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I oh I yeah

Afghan Whigs, The Creep Comments
  1. t.... ....

    I remember seeing the whigs play it live at the palance in hollyweird.

  2. M.... S....

    why do i feel like he is falsifing :D

  3. S.... S....

    So sexy💋

  4. R.... S....

    Honey YES

  5. s.... ....

    The savior of Misbehavior is the only person who can make a man cheating on his woman sound sympathetic.

  6. D.... T....

    Way way before Weezer caused the what-the-fuck ruckus (or fuckus, if you will) the boys from The Afghan Whigs turned out this version of TLC’s arguably more popular tune, Creep.
    And I dare say, do it more than justice - they do it better.

  7. p.... ....

    just heard weezer's no scrubs cover and needed to listen to this masterpiece immediately to clear my brain

    p.... ....

    postshanna agreed!! WTF has happened to Weezer?....on another note, have you heard the Whigs do “Every little thing she does”?...if not, get there ASAP!

  8. j.... b....

    Damn this song is a soulful, sweaty late night fool around with your crush kind of song!

  9. a.... b....

    well u made discover a great song and a great cover, double thanks!

  10. k.... 1....

    This cover gives me a feeling I can’t describe. I always ask people if they’ve heard Creep by TLC and put them on this cover because it’s too bangin.

  11. J.... W....

    why cant i give it two thumbs up? shit aint right.

  12. G.... m....

    Sounds as good as i remember it.i love whigs

  13. S.... S....

    I was waiting to hear how you sang affection and wow that high note was cringe. Other than that its not bad.

  14. E.... ....

    This band is interesting

  15. j.... d....

    this is one of the best bands ever! they deserve so much more! true soul for music 🎶

  16. D.... M....

    I so regret not being obsessed with this band in the day. Making up for it now. Outstanding cover. They were and are so relevant to what is truly great about music.

  17. C.... C....

    Love how he delivered the word "affection" in a higher note..My heart melted hearing that

  18. T.... D....

    the most magnificent way to turn a song around. long live the Afghan Whigs

  19. J.... F....

    the song isnt theirs but sounds better than their originals. a friedn of mine is recording in cinn cinn with the bassist. so now im trying to listen to this band till i like it.

    J.... F....

  23. b.... ....

    13 idiots who don't know music

    b.... ....

    TWENTY ;

  24. B.... S....

    The term 'gnarly' is a bit played. But I can't think of a better word to describe this cover. It is as if the Whigs swallowed the song, digested it, then threw it up for us to hear. God bless them.

  25. A.... C....

    essa musica foi gravada em que ano

  26. b.... ....

    Dulli is a beast and thus cover is phenomenal!

    b.... ....

    That's Brett's opinion.

  27. B.... ....

    One of the best covers ever!

    B.... ....

    Babydoll check out can’t get enough of your love babe

  28. W.... W....

    Dulli jebie!!!!!!!

  30. S.... R....

    Holy jebus

  31. d.... i....

    Dulli just broke the awesome meter.

    d.... i....

    I thought this song was AW's original. Did not know TLC did it. My brother - has a black g.f. - informed me of my mistake. He had never heard this version. What a world. (I threw in that part about his g.f., true, to show he has street cred. I do not.)

  32. K.... T....

    It's on a couple singles and EPs. What the Whigs are known for.

  33. J.... T....

    Punk Goes Pop is where I found it

  34. J.... T....
