Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman child
Oh, my kiss breath turpentine
[Verse 2]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner
[Verse 3]
I'm in like
I'm infatuated
It's all too much pressure
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude? (You faker)
How can I convince her? (Faker)
That I'm invented too, yeah
[Verse 4]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves and
You know me
[Verse 5]
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention (She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah (Life is strange)
What can I make myself be? (Fake her)
To make her mine
[Verse 6]
I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine
My crush with eyeliner
[Verse 7]
I am smitten
You know me (Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
My crush with eyeliner
[Verse 8]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my Valentine?
My crush with eyeliner
