Cherry Ripe

(album: Girlhood - 2017)

I can see you Cherry
A case, a black jacket, never getting straight as
Put you on a stage now they know your name
But you used to be different baby back in the day

When you only lived for the sell
Said "I know I'm at my best when I'm not myself"
You were nobody then, you were nobody girl
But man you made nothing look like something else

Oh Cherry Ripe, you're looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby let's get started

I can see you Cherry
Kicked out of the party cause you were on your back
Took three at a time, gave you such a bad wrap
Surprised after they did it there was anything of you left

Trying to be one of the boys
Pleasing for affection doesn't give you much choice
You can joke all you like but I know that voice
I was up on the ceiling looking back at you like glass

Oh Cherry Ripe, you're looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby let's get started
Oh Cherry Ripe, you're looking good tonight
Play that heavy metal, baby let's get to it

I can see you Cherry
I guess you're walking home four o'clock in the morning
And you're keeping it right and you're keeping it mean
You always put the bitter where the sugar shoulda been

Oh Cherry Ripe, you're looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby let's get started
Oh Cherry Ripe, you're looking good tonight
Play that heavy metal, baby let's get to it
