Sweetie

Ever since I call myself girl
You call me darlin'
Ever since I call myself girl
You call me dear

Am I your sugar plum?
Honey bun?

Where was your tender all these years?
Where was your tender?
And now you want to protect me
When the only one
I needed saving from
Is you

Ever since I call myself girl
You call me sweetie
Ever since I call myself girl
You call me baby

Am I your cupcake
Dollface?

Where was your tender all these years?
Where was your tender?
And now you want to protect me
When the only one
I needed saving from
Is you

Ever since I call myself girl
You've mistaken me for frail
But no matter what I call myself
You just want to curtail

Do you hold me dear?
Or am I what you fear?

Where was your tender all these years?
Where was your tender?
And now you want to protect me
When the only one
I needed saving from
Is you
