Cherry Lyrics
[Intro]
Hello, can I speak to...
Oh, never mind
So won't you? Will you be my cherry?
So come on talk to me, talk to me
Will you, will you be mine?
One, two, three, let's go
[Verse 1]
Down the subway, you looked my way
With your girl gaze, with your girl gaze
That was the day everything changed
Couldn't stay the same
Now it's Tuesday and I'm thinking
'Bout to tuck in, 'bout to tuck in
Telling myself that it's cheating
But it's something else
[Chorus]
Even though I'm satisfied
I lead my life within a lie
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive
[Verse 2]
When they tell you that you've got to stay the same
Even though you're not yourself
And you've got somebody else
When they tell you that you've got yourself to blame
Even though it's not your fault
But your heart just wants to know, know
[Pre-Chorus]
Down the subway, you looked my way
With your girl gaze, with your girl gaze
That was the day everything changed
Now it's something else (Ahh-ahh)
[Chorus]
Even though I'm satisfied
I lead my life within a lie
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive (Oh, they make me feel alive)
[Post-Chorus]
So won't you? Will you be my cherry?
So come on, talk to me, talk to me
Will you, will you be mine?
I see you watching me, will you be mine, baby?
Will I be your cherry?
So come on, talk to me, talk to me
Will you, will you be mine?
[Bridge]
With one look you take me back to everything I used to be
When everyone was seventeen with no ID, no ID
Now I wanna love myself
'Cause nothing else is guaranteed
'Cause inside I'm still the same me with no ID, no ID
Won't you be my cherry now?
[Chorus]
Even though I'm satisfied (Within a lie)
I lead my life within a lie (Within a lie)
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive (Oh, they make me feel alive)
[Chorus]
Even though I'm satisfied (Within a lie)
I lead my life within a lie (Within a lie)
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling (I'm not used to feeling)
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive (Oh, they make me feel alive)
[Post-Chorus]
So won't you? Will you be my cherry?
So come on, talk to me, talk to me
Will you, will you be mine? (Will you be my baby?)
I see you watching me, will you be mine, baby?
Will I be your cherry?
So come on, talk to me, talk to me
Will you, will you be mine?
I see you watching me, watching me

How does the music video tie into the song?
“There’s a princess in Japanese folklore that has ‘cherry’ in her name, and director [Isaac Lock] references that. We were able to cast incredible dancers in a really short space of time, literally the day before rehearsals. It was an all-queer POC cast. Literally everyone on the creative team and o...
