Strawberry Starburst

Amy Jo Johnson

She's the reason I love pterodactyls

The pink Power Ranger

On the cartoon channel

I couldn't go to sex ed

But I'd take my Barbies' clothes off

While I was watching her and Tommy

Fighting aliens and robots

I thought

She smells like

Strawberry Starbursts taste

She looks like

The photo that comes with the frame

She makes my cherry-red heart hurt

I'll never unwrap her

Strawberry Starburst

I liked her even more than April

From the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

And the models with shiny hair

In the Pantene Pro-V commercials

I wanted to be best friends

But that's not all it was

I didn't know it but

She was my first crush

She smells like

Strawberry Starbursts taste

She looks like

The photo that comes with the frame

She makes my cherry-red heart hurt

I'll never unwrap her

Strawberry Starburst

Oh oh... oh oh

Oh... oh oh oh oh

Oh... oh oh

Oh oh... oh... oh oh oh

I was an only kid

Embarrassed to exist

Chewing the glitter nail polish off my fingertips

Watching her turn cartwheels in my mind

She smells like

Strawberry Starbursts taste

She looks like

The photo that comes with the frame

She makes my cherry-red heart hurt

I'll never unwrap her

Strawberry Starburst

She smells like

Strawberry Starbursts taste

She looks like

The photo that comes with the frame

She makes my cherry-red heart hurt

I'll never unwrap her

Strawberry Starburst
