LEMON TOUCH

Did not know you would criticize me so much
Told you all my secrets thought it was only you that I could trust
Your words are like a knife; you found my pain.
Will you please go away

You got that lemon touch.
Sour to the taste stinging to a paper cut
Will my love sweeten you up.
Your lemon touch

When I meet you, your eyes took me by surprise.
Your smile made me feel this was my time.
You asked me out, so I followed.
Didn't know a few months later, you would ask me to go.

You got that lemon touch.
Sour words I wish I never heard
That is just the games of a childish girl.
Your lemon touch

Your vitamin C, I thought, was all I need
This friendship didn't cure the scurvy in me.
Was this all a dream relationship is a mystery
No more conversation that ends in please, please, please

You got that lemon touch.
Not enough sugar in this world that will sweeten you up
Some things in life you just can't trust
Your lemon touch
