Lyrics

Unlearn You

Got a plate of pink cupcakes
To sugarcoat the aftertaste
But the blue it floods my eyes
Your hands grip mine, my tongue still dies for you, ha

Ooh-ooh, and I'm back in black again
I know it's a touch I can't forget
What's that burning like a cigarette?

Can I cross you out and unlearn you
From my body?

I didn't ever wear a dress
In case you'd thought I was asking for it
In my speech, my moves, my eyes
You stay disguised, I'm back to a child

Can I cross you out and unlearn you?
Oh-oh, ooh, wash them memory down and unlearn you
From my body

Ooh-ooh, and I'm back in black again
I know it's a touch I can't forget
Words that burn me like a cigarette

Can I cross you out and unlearn you
From my body?
