lemonade shots (live acoustic) - mary-kate ellis lyrics

[verse 1]
my daddy said a cold beer tasted good
i tried a sip and it made my stomach hurt
only 12 and i thought, “never again”
daddy liked his beers
turned 14, he drank gin
cheap big bottles to the brim
he mixed it up with lemonade
and he would say

[chorus]
“take a lemonade shot with me, it’ll make you feel 33”
i poured it out of the back window
of the kitchen by the sink
“take a lemonade shot with me, it’ll make you feel 33, and your stomach will be roiling”
i’ll make you sick

[verse 2]
i wanted nothing more than approval
i wanted nothing more than his love
but lemonade shots don’t make love, they just burn things up
a sour taste with an achy burn
like a summer gone but never learned
that loving you shouldn’t hurt this way
shouldn’t sting for days and days
[pre*chorus]
i learned early on to swallow my pride
i’m always wrong and never right
how to nod and fake a smile
and count the floor tiles for a while

[chorus]
lemonade shots don’t taste like love
they just bite your tongue and numb your blood
they make you feel older than you are
leave bruises where feelings scar

[bridge]
if this is what dad’s love is made of
i don’t want the cup
i’ll just scrub the kitchen sink and act like i threw it up

[outro]
citrus wounds burn more than most
they’ll bring tears to your eyes
don’t ask a child to be immune to lemonade shots in their eyes
