Cupcake
Nellie McKay

c'mon, now you've got some time
I wanna hear it cuz I need an answer
I know youth dies young
but our youth's just begun
and ain't it a beautiful day

cuz it's true, baby
I need you
I'm damned if i say i do
Gertrude would approve

i need you in the mornin
i need you in the silent afterglow
won't you let my lovin' show, baby

oh anyone can toe the line
except for me cuz I'm a disco dancer
all my life I've been
a gopher with a grin
my smile is fadin' away

cuz it's true, baby
i need you
to shatter the status q
Truman would approve

i need you in the mornin'
i need you in the sunshine, rain or snow
won't you let my lovin' show, baby

otherwise I don't want to hear it
you've got me talkin talkin talkin
well it's better than you
cuz I say I don't wanna fear it
that look that says exactly what you think of me
cuz that's when you would be free oh
from my love
my love
baby baay-bee

c'mon now honey stop denyin'
or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor
leave the steps of your house
get down to the courthouse
give me a G and an A, Y?!

cuz it's true,
baby I need you I'm damned if I say, I do
Jesus would approve I need you in the morning I need you
in the scarlet afterglow oh won't you let my lovin' show
baby I need you-oo-ooo I need you to sustain my sorry soul
won't you let my lovin' show
baby I need you I need you I said
I don't wanna hear it you got me talkin talkin talkin
well it's better than you I need you-oo-ooo I need yoooou
I need you to get over my rainbow
I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it
