Cupcake - Nellie McKay

C'mon, now you've 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

'Cause it's true, baby
I need you
I'm 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 toe 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've got me talkin talkin talkin
Well it's better than you
'Cause 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 oh
From my love
My love
Baby baay-bee

C'mon now honey stop denyin'
Or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor
Leave the steps of your house
Get down to the courthouse
Give me a G and an A, Y?!

'Cause 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 oh won't you let my lovin' show
Baby I need you-oo-ooo I need you to sustain my sorry soul
Won't you let my lovin' show
Baby 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-oo-ooo I need yoooou
I need you to get over my rainbow
I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it
