Lyrics

You smell like cinnamon
You turn on the kitchen light
You are love and sin
You whisper sweet everything’s all night
I sit by the piano
You clean the floors
The noises fill my head
The creaking doors
I think that I just need to take it breath by breath
And hope you don’t forget it

Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby

So darling
Kiss me
Scene from
Your favorite movie
Buttercups
Under my skin
Paper thin
Within

Buttercup baby
Haven’t seen you lately
Don’t know what I should do
Send out a search party
Or wait in the lobby
Maybe that can bring me bring me bring me back to you

I’ll look for yellow under your chin
I’ll look for crooked teeth in your grin
You can find yourself again
I know you can
But if you can’t
I’ll go looking

You messed me up
I don’t trust trusting
All that’s left is love
It spreads through me
Like a deadly disease
I’ll never rid of
How dare you hide
How dare you lie
How dare you cry for us
How dare you cry

I’m still in the garden
Planting petunias
It’s always the hardest
When everyone else gives up

Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
Aren’t you my buttercup, my
Buttercup baby
