Lyrics

Ribbons + Taxes

[Verse 1]

She said, "You look good for your age"

I said, "I'm only twenty-eight"

Wonderin' if I'm supposed to be offended

I was a kid against my will

Playin' pretend to pay my bills

I always felt just like the world was ending

[Pre-Chorus]

I used to hate the color pink

I used to laugh at girly things

'Cause everything's embarrassing at fourteen

So now I'm in between

[Chorus]

I'm wearing my ribbons as I'm doing my taxes

It's baby's first time livin', and you don't get to practice

No one tells you if you blink fast

You don't get your girlhood back

Don't throw it all away in advance

'Cause I'm gettin' as close as I can

[Verse 2]

Right now, my mom would be a wife

But I'd feel like a child bride

I wonder if she еven has some questions

Wеll, if you know me, you know I swear

If someone took my teddy bear

I'd lose my shit, and prolly get arrested

[Pre-Chorus]

I used to hate the color pink

I used to laugh at girly things

'Cause everything's embarrassing at fourteen

So now I'm in between

[Chorus]

I'm wearing my ribbons as I'm doing my taxes

It's baby's first time livin', and you don't get to practice

No one tells you if you blink fast

You don't get your girlhood back

Don't throw it all away in advance

'Cause I'm gettin' as close as I can

[Outro]

Ooh, oh-oh, no

Ooh, oh-oh

Ooh, oh-oh, no

Ooh, oh-oh

Ooh, oh-oh, no

Ooh, oh-oh

Ooh, oh-oh, no

Ooh, oh-oh
