Sugar and Steel

[Intro] Spoken gently: Oh, you think I’m sugar, right? Just a little doll in the pink porch light. Bless your heart. [Verse 1] I wear my Sunday dress so white You think I’m praying for your soul tonight I smile so slow, you lose your breath You don’t know yet I’m bored to death [Pre-Chorus] I twirl my hair, I bat my eyes I’m every inch the angel in disguise You think I’m shy, you think I’m pure You’re just so sweet, I’m almost sure [Chorus] I’m a little bit of sugar, little bit of spice Little bit of everything that isn’t very nice I’m the candy on the counter that you shouldn’t try to take I’m a perfect little nightmare wrapped in frosting on a cake Oh, did I say that? Oops, my bad I’m the sweetest little psycho that you never knew you had [Verse 2] I’ll compliment your ugly shirt I’ll say I love you while I’m kicking dirt Over the grave of your self-esteem You’ll thank me later, with a silent scream [Pre-Chorus] I’ll call you “honey” with a razor tongue You’ll never know exactly how I’m pulling strings [Bridge] Quiet claws in a velvet sleeve, I smile and breathe relief Every compliment cuts a little deeper, and you believe That angelic glow? a mask that never fades While I design your heartbreak with the grace of a masquerade [Chorus] I’m a little bit of sugar, little bit of spice Little bit of everything that isn’t very nice I’m the candy on the counter that you shouldn’t try to take I’m a perfect little nightmare wrapped in frosting on a cake Oh, did I say that? Oops, my bad I’m the sweetest little psycho that you never knew you had [Outro] Spoken softly: Bless your heart, and kiss the night away with a smile you won’t forget.
