Ego Lyrics
i feel light up on my feet
from the way you look at me
you open up the universe
yeah i bet you get this all the time
i crumble when you touch my wings
but that's okay 'cause i'm laughing
i'm tougher than you think
yeah i bet you get this all the time
the no-hopers
the overwhelmers
the sweet talkers
i bet you get this all the time
i bet they just throw themselves at you
the daydreamers
the dope smokers
the loose talkers
yeah i bet you get this all the time
ego lovers
go-getters
fare workers
yeah i bet you get this all the time
i bet they just throw themselves at you
yeah i bet you get this all the time
i can't make this any clearer
i can't make this any simpler
still passin' through my fingers
i bet you get this all the time
the day dreamers
the ego lover
the sweet talkers
yeah i bet you get this all the time
i bet they just throw themselves at you
from the way you look at me
you open up the universe
yeah i bet you get this all the time
but that's okay 'cause i'm laughing
i'm tougher than you think
yeah i bet you get this all the time
the overwhelmers
the sweet talkers
i bet you get this all the time
i bet they just throw themselves at you
the dope smokers
the loose talkers
yeah i bet you get this all the time
go-getters
fare workers
yeah i bet you get this all the time
i bet they just throw themselves at you
i can't make this any simpler
still passin' through my fingers
i bet you get this all the time
the ego lover
the sweet talkers
yeah i bet you get this all the time

Just came here to say I absolutely love this song. Thanks for posting the lyrics.
"that's okay 'cause i'm laughin'" also "ego lovers"
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! It's the happiest song Yorke has ever done. Yea, it's "ego lovers" and I think the female voice in the background is saying... "You know" and "Love You". They play this all the time at the bar/club in my town. I was surprised that Thom, Burial & Four Tet did such a fun song instead of some dark twisted tune.
I hear 'fuck you' at the end, not 'love you.' Maybe I'm just negative though. It makes for a good ending to the song that way though.

I sort of imagine it as him smooth-talking a girl at a club while Burial and Four Tet DJ.
He's come a long way from "Creep"!
