 Eminem - Stan
 Chorus: Dido
 My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
 got out of bed at all
 The morning rain clouds up my window..
 and I can't see at all
 And even if I could it'd all be gray,
 but your picture on my wall
 It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
 it's not so bad..
 
 1st Chorus: volume gradually grows over raindrop background
 2nd Chorus: full volume with beat right after "thunder" noise
 
 [Eminem as 'Stan']
 Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
 I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
 I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got him
 There probably was a problem at the post office or something
 Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot him
 but anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
 My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
 If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
 I'ma name her Bonnie
 I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
 I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
 I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
 I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
 I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
 I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was phat
 Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
 just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
 This is Stan
 
 {Chorus: Dido
 
 [Eminem as 'Stan']
 Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
 I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
 If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
 you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
 That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
 We waited in the blistering cold for you,
 four hours and you just said, "No."
 That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol
 He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
 I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
 Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you
 you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way
 I never knew my father neither;
 he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
 I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
 so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
 cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
 I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
 Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
 It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
 See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
 My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
 But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
 She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
 You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
 Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.
 We should be together too
 
 {Chorus: Dido
 
 [Eminem as 'Stan']
 Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
 this'll be the last package I ever send your ass
 It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
 I know you got my last two letters;
 I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
 So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
 I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
 Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
 You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
 about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
 but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
 That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
 Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
 and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
 I hope you know I ripped ALL of your pictures off the wall
 I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
 You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
 And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
 I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
 See Slim; {*screaming*
 Shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!
 Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
 but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
 cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
 Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
 Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
 
 {Chorus: Dido
 
 [Eminem]
 Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
 You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
 Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
 and here's an autograph for your brother,
 I wrote it on the Starter cap
 I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
 Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
 But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
 I say that shit just clowning dog,
 c'mon - how fucked up is you?
 You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
 to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
 And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
 That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
 I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
 or maybe you just need to treat her better
 I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
 before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
 if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
 why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
 I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
 I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
 Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
 and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
 and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
 Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
 Damn!
