[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
She's a friend of mine, and a apple pie
And a sharpshooter, I'm in the overtime like
Hey sharpshooter, I feel like I'm intrudin'
She's a friend of mine, and the alibi
And the getaway car in overdrive, like
Hey sharpshooter, I like the way you're moving
[Pre-Chorus]
She's a real livewire, what's she talking about?
I think I love her
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So don't, don't come back looking for me, me
No, you don't
I won't come back lookin' for you, you, you
[Chorus]
I just wanna be here
Walking like an animal
I just wanna teach ya a thing or two
Let's lose control and alt delete
And one, two, three, four, five
I don't wanna fight butterflies
Out of sight, out of my mind
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna taste your chapstick
I just wanna taste your–
I just, I just, I just wanna taste your chapstick
I just wanna taste your–
I just, I just, I just wanna
Dance, baby
I just wanna cry lately

Hey, cherry blossom, yeah, yeah, what's your problem?
I don't want your leather jacket, I just wanna taste your chapstick

[Pre-Chorus]
She's a real wildfire and she's hard to contain
She's going nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She's a real live wire, what's she talking about?
I think I love her
[Chorus]
(I just, I just, I just wanna) I just wanna be here
Walking like an animal
I just wanna teach ya a thing or two
Let's lose control and alt delete
And one, two, three, four, five
I don't wanna fight butterflies
Out of sight, out of my mind
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna taste your chapstick
I just wanna taste your–
I just, I just, I just wanna taste your chapstick
I just wanna taste your chapstick
[Chorus]
(I just, I just, I just wanna) I just wanna be here
Walking like an animal
I just wanna teach ya a thing or two
Let's lose control and alt delete
And one, two, three, four, five
I don't wanna fight butterflies
Out of sight, out of my mind (Taste your chapstick)
[Outro]
I just wanna dance, baby
I just wanna cry lately
