The song’s lyrics describe a failing relationship where the narrator’s partner is always telling the narrator to “do better” at things, showcasing an unhealthy power dynamic.
[Verse 1]
Whatever you want from me
Whatever you want I'll do
I'll try to squeeze a drop of blood
From a sugarcube
[Verse 2]
Try to be more assured
Try to be more right there
Try to be less uptight
Try to be more aware
[Verse 3]
Whatever you want from me
Is what I want to do for you
Sweeter than a drop of blood
On a sugarcube
[Bridge]
And though I like to act the part of being tough
I crumble like a sugarcube for you
[Verse 4]
Whatever you want from me
Whatever you want I'll do
And I will try
[Verse 1]
Whatever you want from me
Whatever you want I'll do
I'll try to squeeze a drop of blood
Squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube
