lirik lagu sweet tooth – honey magpie
daughter i am spent and tired, i’m old beyond my years
but i was once a young thing too, a dunce for charm and cheer
i didn’t see the shadows or the briars twist my way
soon they’ll come for you, so heed my words and get away
the dead leaves fall in autumn and the cherries bloom in spring
and if you are a beauty then, adorned in ribbons, rings
the boys will pull your petticoats and when they have their way
babes will pull your apr*n strings until you’re bent and grey
so daughter don’t get pretty now and don’t build up a sweet tooth
if you grow up tough and bitter then the big bad wolves won’t eat ya
the wolves who dress in prince’s clothes won’t sweep you off your feet to
grind you like an organ ’til your pins and staples cry
grind you like an organ ’til you die
don’t dig up my rouge and kohl, my ruffles or my lace
learn to slap at hands and throw a cold drink to the face
for if you bat your eyes or coo at him or twirl your hair
someday you’ll scrub his skivvies while he drinks and has affairs
so daughter don’t get pretty now and don’t build up a sweet tooth
if you grow up tough and bitter then the big bad wolves won’t eat ya
the wolves who dress in prince’s clothes won’t sweep you off your feet to
grind you like an organ ’til your pins and staples cry
grind you like an organ ’til you die
i dreamed of making merry, of dancing in the square
i dreamed of sipping sherry, reading novels in my chair
of strollin’ through the garden singing duos with the doves
i wish my ma had told me ’bout this nasty trap called love
so daughter don’t get pretty now and don’t build up a sweet tooth
if you grow up tough and bitter then the big bad wolves won’t eat ya
the wolves who dress in prince’s clothes won’t sweep you off your feet to
grind you like an organ ’til your pins and staples cry
grind you like an organ ’til you die, until you die
daughter all my faith in god’s been pulled out like a splinter
but if that faith’s still stuck in you then pray you’ll be a spinster
he’ll promise you the world and then he’ll pound you weak and thin, he’ll
grind you like an organ ’til your pins and staples cry
grind you like an organ ’til you die, until you die
daughter don’t get pretty now and don’t build up a sweet tooth
if you grow up tough and bitter then the big bad wolves won’t eat ya
the wolves who dress in prince’s clothes won’t sweep you off your feet to
grind you like an organ ’til your pins and staples cry
grind you like an organ ’til you die
