Description

The very first Muse song on a Muse record.

Additional Information

The version on the Muse EP differs to that which features on Showbiz, and contains a slow bridge in the middle and additional lyrics.

The demo version omits the last chorus.

Lyrics

You needed it when I was away
And no matter what I say
You’ll never forget when I wasn’t there so
Why should I care? 
I’m young but I know that I’m aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

It doesn’t matter where I have gone
I just can’t afford to
Pay for all the mistakes that you have made
It’s about time I was paid

I’m young but I know that I’m aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

The last chorus is omitted on the demo version.

The Muse EP version of the song is extended and features the extra lyrics:

You...

We really need to change it 
And turn it over

Cause you should have been there
When I was aroused
Cause you should have been there
When I was aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
