The Real Snow White Lyrics

[Chorus 2]
I made a promise to myself, I wouldn't start with anyone else
But you know how it is with these promises made
In the heat of the moment, they're made to be less than they seem
Whenever you've got what I need

[Refrain]
And you've got what I need
You've got what I need
Yeah, you've got what I need
You've got what I need

[Verse 3]
Ay-ee, for service with a smile
I have to walk in on my hands and roll for free
You say it's all the same, ennui, you're not the real Snow White
The real snow white is on my knee
I didn't need to get ID, it's simply minimum height
And getting all dressed up in seven ways to please

[Chorus 3]
I made a promise to myself, I wouldn't start with anyone else
But you know how it is with these promises made
In the heat of the moment, they're made to be broken one day

If there's no time to get away
[Verse 4]
Uh-oh, she wasn't made to shine
She was really only ever made to glow
I left her in the dark, no show, quiet sucking on a line
It was a tricky gun to load
And I didn't get to fire, hi-ho, she's off to work for time
I should have finished out with higher up than low

[Chorus 4]
I made a promise to myself, I wouldn't start with anyone else
But you know how it is with these promises made
In the heat of the moment, they're made before right becomes wrong

Whenever you've got what I want

[Outro]
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
And you've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
Oh yeah
It's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow
I swear

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

NME described “The Real Snow White” as “a kernel of sound and fury (that) is somehow euphoric” and called its chorus lyrics “anthemic”.
