[Chorus]
These apples are delicious!
"As a matter of fact they are," she said
Can all this fruit be free?
[Verse 3]

I know I am sometimes headstrong
Falling in love, catching fire, I want to be consumed
Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire?
[Chorus]
These apples are delicious!
"As a matter of fact they are," she said
Can all this fruit be free?
