Curled up in the kitchen corner

Tears roll down my neck

I swear it's from the onions

But I'm just scared to death

'Cause I've been burned a time or two

I've been watered down

I've been salted way back to the ground

If you shoot me back quickly, baby, I might burn

But if you hide me from the light

You'll see all my sugars turn

Keep me on your shelf

Save me for yourself

Give me some time, and I'll get sweeter

Sweeter

I thought I'd bake you cookies

But maybe just store-bought

I'd steal my mama's recipe

But that would say a lot

If you add too much too quickly

It's hard to take it back

So I'll scoop sugar by the spoonful

And put it right back in the bag

'Cause I've been burned a time or two

I've been watered down

I've been salted way back to the ground

If you shoot me back quickly, baby, I might burn

But if you hide me from the light

You'll see all my sugars turn

Keep me on your shelf

Save me for yourself

Give me some time, and I'll get sweeter

And I saw that cast iron skillet

I thought it all was set in stone

My misinterpretation of what love was all along

It's not my head on your pillow

It's not your lips on my neck

It's not the keys to your house in my hand

Or wakin' up in the same bed

Did you shoot me back so quickly just to spit me out?

Hide me from the truth till the truth came pouring out

You said, "Save it for yourself, go be sweet to someone else"

You got your taste and now your teeth hurt

You got your taste and now your teeth hurt

'Cause all along my love was so much sweeter

Sweeter
