Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe, you don't really care You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder Fishtail, what's the matter with her? Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou Slip softly into rain Not that smart, but I've got things to say Palm trees in black and white, I like to watch them sway You're so funny, I wish I could skinny dip inside your mind Lately I've been thinking about how things used to be Swinging in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me Lately I can see, you wanted me sadder You wanted me sadder, baby Can't you see it? For me you are the one, and for mine the one for you Don't you say it Eyes on the stairs, elephants chirping in the air, feeling hella rare Baby if you care, baby don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe, you don't really care You wanted me sadder There in the hot, hot sun, I know that we've got problems I'll play out to address them another day Palm trees in black and white, I see in technicolor Maybe I'll take my glasses off so I stop painting red flags green Lately I've been sunning in the LA riverbed Wearing nothing but the summer bruises on my knees I like how you talk, how you speak, how you're loving me Lately I can see, you wanted me sadder You wanted me sadder, baby You wanted me sadder For me you are the one, and for mine the one for you Don't you say it Eyes on the stairs, elephants chirping in the air, feeling hella rare Baby if you care, baby don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, see Baby if you care, baby don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, see Don't you really care Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe You'll get home to mine if you don't really care Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe If you don't really care Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair If you're not coming home to me You want someone sadder, skinny rope in the bayou, bayou Sleep softly in the rain, I'm not that smart But I've got things to say
