[Verse 1]
Baby's in a bad mood
Cooler than a quaalude
You can hold me in your hands
But I can't get you high like that
Baby's in a bad way
Spinning out like cocaine
You don't know me at all
But you slid next to me so quietly
[Chorus]
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I taste so sweet
[Verse 2]
Holly Golightly
Falls apart nightly
You look pretty to me
But you think I'm crazy
It's too bad that you love her
She'll only make you suffer
You don't know me at all
So you slid next to me so quietly
[Chorus]
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I taste so sweet
[Bridge]
I'll be your shadow
If you'll be my shadow
You and mе amongst the ghosts
Give you what you wanted
Forеver haunted
I'll always love you the most
[Chorus]
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I’ll be your tangerine
You can peel me with your teeth
And I’m so sweet
I taste so sweet
