[Verse 1]
Never been one to fake
I'll tell you when it happens
Love takes some time to make
So don't rush the action
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're trying, baby
Try a little less
Say a little grace, the table is set
I couldn't do it, baby
What did you expect?
Your mind is up ahead, I'm not ready
[Chorus]
And if the cherry's sweet, it comes right off the bush
Don't push, don't push
And if the season's right, it moves just like it should
Don't push, don't push
(Just let 'em dance, Lido)
And if the cherry's sweet it–
[Refrain]
-head, I'm not ready
-head, I'm not ready
-head, -head, I'm not ready
-head, I'm not
And if the cherry's sweet it–
-head, I'm not
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're trying, baby
Try a little less
Say a little grace, the table is set
I couldn't do it, baby
What did you expect?
You mind is up ahead, I'm not ready
[Chorus]
And if the cherry's sweet, it comes right off the bush
Don't push, don't push
And if the season's right, it moves just like it should
Don't push, don't push
[Bridge]
Woah, woah, woah, slow down (Never been one to fake)
Don't be nervous (I'll tell you when it–, tell you when it–)
We're gonna take this nice and slow
First step (Love takes some time to make)
Feels good, right? (So don't rush the)
There you go (I'm not ready, I'm not ready)
Yeah (I'm not ready)
Don't stop (And if the cherry's sweet it–)
Look, we're dancing
[Outro]
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
And if the cherry's sweet it–
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
And if the cherry's sweet it–
I'm not ready

Hey, my loves,
CHERRY IS OUT! This song makes me so happy. We started writing it over three years ago! It has had many lives, but now lives as a combination of Nostalgia, British, female, summer, sweet, soft, soulful, cuntyness.
The music video is inspired by one of my fave movies growing up, “Ben...
