Lyric discussion by mrxthursGi 

I actually think this song is meant to be satirical: it is about our obsessions with celebrities. The subject in the song is absolutely infatuated with this celebrity and is deluded into thinking there is something there that isn't .(To digress: that reminds me of There There's lyrics, "Just cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.) These lines seem to infer that she is famous: "Your records are here" could literally be that the subject owns her music. "Your eyes on my wall" makes me think that the subject has a poster of her on his wall. I think some people here have already realized that this person is a celebrity. In the chorus, the lines "Who bribed the company to see you honey" could literally mean that the subject bribed security so he could go and see her at her show. Furthermore, the lines "these people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet/ they don't know what I know" mean that the subject is jealous/angry at this celebrity's company because he thinks he is the only sincere one who really loves her and the others are just there to feed off her fame. The rest of the song is pretty much straightforward about how he does everything for her and she doesn't seem to care.

I think this interpretation makes more sense if you think about Thom's character back in the late 80s/early 90s. He wouldn't just make a cheesy love song so it's entirely possible he's critiquing society. People now are just starting to see 'Creep' as a sarcastic song too.
