You Make My Tummy Ache/Go Away

Lyrics, written with two voices, innocence and cynicism, the person singing, and "They" the person they are speaking of. Who is saying what is left open to interpretation.

I know what you want. Don't you know what you want?
'I'll love you forever' they say, what are you, new?
Cus I've got candy kisses, do you want some too?
They say innocence always tastes like (love) is a euphemism

I know what I want, yeah, I know what I want,
It's what our body knows and are hearts won't admit,
that sex is what we crave, and love is what we get,
mascara and innocence, tight jeans,
too tired of pretending to be what we seem,

my eyes were old before i could speak,
my feet worn out, and my heart weak,
because we want love like we want dark chocolate,
mouth watering, thinking it's all we can get,
cus we want love like we want regret,
the bitter tinge of agony to make the joy set.

I know what I want, yeah, I know what I want,
It's what our body knows and we try to forget,
that sex is what we crave, and love is what we get,
mascara and innocence, tight jeans,
too tired of pretending to be what we seem,

I know what I want, yeah, I know what I want.
We love like falling off a skateboard,
Each scrape a trophy, from each chest we've tore,
counting broken hearts on our fingers, the joy,
Sweet kids in a candy store, we always want more,
love like a tummy ache, easy to endure,
Innocence always tastes like (love) is a euphemism

It's what our body knows, and our hearts won't admit,
familiarity breeds contempt,
Knights in shining armor are like barbies' ken,
I know what I want, yeah, i know what I want yeah,
cus hearts shatter oh so prettily
and bandaged hands ache oh so good,
cus paper cuts heal way too easily
and broken hearts are misunderstood.

I know what I want, yeah, I know what I want.
Mascara and innocence, tight jeans,
so tired of pretending to be what we seem,
my eyes were old before i knew how to speak,
feet worn out and my heart oh so weak,

i know what i want, yeah, i know what i want,
I want love like dark chocolate,
love that tastes like regret,
cus i know what i want, i know it's the truth, yeah,
it's the bitter tinge that makes the joy set.

yeah, i know what i want, yeah, i know what i want,
It's you and me, sitting in a tree,
sitting in a tree, sitting in a tree
they say (innocence always tastes like you)
