A fruit is a ripened ovary of a plant, so a neutered fruit would be an infertile ovary. This is an analogy for loveless love or a relationship that is lacking love from one person.
[Intro]
Did you ever really stare at me?
Did you ever really stare at me...
Like I stared at you?
[Verse 1]
I ate flowers in the backyard
A finely neutered fruit
Shot a hundred arrows at a doe
A hundred sparrows booed
[Chorus]
Did you ever really stare at me?
Did you ever really stare?
Did you ever really stare at me...
Like I stared at you?
[Verse 2]
Don't run
Don't run, little rabbit, run
Don't run
Don't run, little bunny, run
[Chorus]
Did you ever really stare at me?
Did you ever really stare?
Did you ever really stare at me...
Like I stared at you?
[Bridge]
Did you ever ride a bear for me?
Did you ever really care
Did you ever really care for me...
Like I cared for you?
[Outro]
Don't run
Don't run
Don't run
Don't run
