Bitter Lemon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've listened to too many T-Rex LP's
For me to think I could tame you
You crave power like women
The next most beautiful one on the block
[Pre-Chorus]
Where the grass is greener (The grass is greener)
Then you betray for kicks, a stylish man
With all your words
They get me every time
[Chorus]
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me, you are
You've listened to too many T-Rex LP's
For me to think I could tame you
You crave power like women
The next most beautiful one on the block
[Pre-Chorus]
Where the grass is greener (The grass is greener)
Then you betray for kicks, a stylish man
With all your words
They get me every time
[Chorus]
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me, you are
[Verse 2]
The angel's tears could not deter you
You crave lust
Like wanting me, weak me
The devil just kissed all the doubts again
[Pre-Chorus]
Damn you, I hate you (The grass is greener, greener)
Yes, I do (The grass is greener, greener)
Damn you, I said I hate you (The grass is greener, greener)
(The grass is greener)
With all of your words
They get me every time
[Chorus]
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me, you are
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me, you are
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
The angel's tears could not deter you
You crave lust
Like wanting me, weak me
The devil just kissed all the doubts again
[Pre-Chorus]
Damn you, I hate you (The grass is greener, greener)
Yes, I do (The grass is greener, greener)
Damn you, I said I hate you (The grass is greener, greener)
(The grass is greener)
With all of your words
They get me every time
[Chorus]
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me, you are
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
A pointless fetish for me, you are
(Oh, you are)
Oh, you are like bitter lemon
Too sour to swallow
(Oh, you are)
[Outro]
I hate you, yes, I do
I said now, damn you (Oh, you are)
I hate you, yes, I do
(Oh, you are) Damn you
I hate you, yes, I do
Like bitter lemon
(Oh, you are) Damn you
I said I hate you, yes, I do
(Oh, you are) Oh, you are
I hate you, yes, I do
I said now, damn you (Oh, you are)
I hate you, yes, I do
(Oh, you are) Damn you
I hate you, yes, I do
Like bitter lemon
(Oh, you are) Damn you
I said I hate you, yes, I do
(Oh, you are) Oh, you are
