Cupcake Lyrics

The song Cupcake is performed by Nellie McKay in the album named Pretty Little Head in the year 2006 .

Do you know you're always on my mind?
I know we seek and we shall find
Somewhere to go

Mother, please
I'm feelin' low as can be
When will they see?

Do you know you're always in my thoughts?
I know protection can't be bought
Somewhere to hide

Mother, please
I wanna cry, what a tease
When will they see?

Come on
Now you got some time
I wanna hear it
'Cuz I need an answer

I know youth dies young
But our youth's just begun
And ain't it a beautiful day?
'Cuz it's true, baby

I need you
And damned if I say I do
Gertrude would approve

I need you in the mornin'
I need you in the silent afterglow
Won't you let my lovin show, baby

Oh, anyone can tow the line
Except for me 'cuz I'm a disco dancer
All my life I've been a gopher with a grin
My smile is fadin' away 'cuz it's true, baby

I need you
To shatter the status Q
Truman would approve

I need you in the mornin'
I need you in the sunshine
Rain or snow
Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

Otherwise I don't want to hear it
You got me talkin', talkin', talkin'
Well, it's better than you
'Cuz I say I don't wanna fear it

That look that says
Exactly what you think of me
'Cuz that's when you would be free

From my love
My love
Baby, baby

Come on, honey
Stop denyin'
Or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor
Leave the steps of your house

Get down to the courthouse
Gimme a G and an A
Y, 'cuz it's true, baby

I need you
I'm damned if I say I do
Jesus would approve

I need you in the morning
I need you in the scarlet
Afterglow
Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

I need you in the morn
Ah, I need you
To sustain my sorry soul
Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

I need you, I need you, I need you
I said I don't wanna hear it
You got me talkin', talkin', talkin'
Well, it's better than you

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
To get over the rainbow
Won't you let my lovin' show

I need you, I need you
To get over the rainbow
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh baby

I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it
You got me talkin', talkin', talkin'
Well, it's better than you
