Cover art for Cellophane Boy lyrics by No Doubt

"And I'm not the Judge or the referee And I can't accept, cause I am uptight And the smokes getting into my eyes are burning My concern is I just might give you a life"

I don't know how pot affects you because i've never smoked it, but if you give all that up then I could give you a real life in the form of a child.

"And I can't relate to the hypnotist And I can't get close , cause the plastic wrap And I want to have kids, but their father's up inside the clouds The distance between is on my mind"

I can't relate to what you're entranced with (pot) but I want to have kids with you. But we can't because you're always high and seem like you're so far away that I can't talk to you.

"Up Until now things have been fine, temporarily You're cute, but the circumstance has changed Your substitution method, crutch Your whole protection from your pain This presentation of my ploy Is to change my cellophane boy"

When we were just casually dating it was fine, but now I want to start a proper family. What I want to do now is to change you into a father.

"Oh, it's not the 70's Let your future fly with me"

People smoked pot in the 70's, it's not cool anymore, why don't you get high on life with me instead and we can make a future together.

"And I want your habit to be me Your harbor and your refugee"

I want your obsession and number one priority to be me.
