[Verse 1]
You bought me some chocolates
And you bought me a rose
And you brought me a paper bag
And you brought me a lamp

Thank you for the rose
Thank you for the paper bag

[Chorus]
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
[Verse 2]
You brought me a sofa
And you brought me some books
And you brought me a filing cabinet
And you brought me a Panasonic DX-4500
Thank you for the sofa
Thank you for the books
Thanks for the filing cabinet

Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need

I've been freezing in here
[Chorus]
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
Now I have everything I need
Yeah
