Fishtail

Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe

If you don't really care

You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder

Fishtail, what's the matter? Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou

Slip softly into rain

Not that smart but I've got things to say

Palm trees in black and white

I like to watch them sway

You're so funny, I wish I could skinny-dip inside your mind

Lately, I've been thinking about how things used to be

Swinging in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree

Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me

But, lately, I can see

You wanted me sadder

Baby, can't you see it? (You wanted me sadder)

For me, you are the one, and if I'm not the one for you

Don't you say it

I was on the stairs

Ella Fitzgerald in the air

Feelin' hella rare

Baby, if you care

Baby, don't you dare say you'll braid my hair, babe

Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe

If you don't really care

You wanted me sadder

Dancing there in the hot, hot sun

I know that we've got problems

I plan to address them another day

Palm trees in black and white

I see in technicolor

Maybe I'll take my glasses off, so I stop painting red flags green

Lately, I've been sunning in the L.A. riverbed

Wearin' nothing but the summer bruises on my knees

I like how you talk, how you speak, how you look at me

But, lately, I can see

You wanted me sadder (baby, can't you see it?)

You wanted me sadder

You wanted me sadder

For me, you are the one, and if I'm not the one for you

Don't you say it

I was on the stairs

Ella Fitzgerald in the air

Feelin' hella rare

Baby, if you care

Baby, don't you dare say you'll braid my hair

See, baby, if you care, then (don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair)

Baby, don't you dare say that you really care

Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair

When you get home tonight

If you don't really care

Yeah, don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe

If you don't really care, see

Don't you braid my hair

If you're not coming home to me

Ahh

You want someone sadder

Skippin' rope in the bayou, bayou

Slip softly in terrain

I'm not that smart

But I've got things to say
