I was just something for his
spare time and spare change
He won't break a sweat
[he'll only break my heart.]
The princess of a toad, in my stomach
did a cartwheel and puckered her lips;
and all I really wanted,
was him to miss me
spare time and spare change
He won't break a sweat
[he'll only break my heart.]
The princess of a toad, in my stomach
did a cartwheel and puckered her lips;
and all I really wanted,
was him to miss me
