lyrics

Come on girl follow me
We're gonna take a ride down to the sea
Where buried treasure buried treasure lies
Buried deep beneath my heart inside

Baby sweet don't you know
I've been through this same old thing before
Fairy tale made up to relieve
Promises a man will never keep

I chopped down the cherry tree
Took some fruit and left the rest to bleed
Told a fib to save my tail
Only fooling you to fool myself
No one else

Say to me please forget
I'm like one that you have never met
Memories ripped up to begin
Patterns cycled time and time again

Darling dear face so sweet
I'm the baddest one you'll ever see
I'll blow right down your house made out of straw
And eat you up 'til I can't have no more

I chopped down the cherry tree
Took some fruit and left the rest to bleed
Told a fib to save my tail
Only fooling you to fool myself
No one else

Say to me oh

I chopped down the cherry tree
Took some fruit and left the rest to bleed
Told a fib to save my tail
Only fooling you to fool myself
No one else
