lyrics

I need some sweetness
cuz my life’s gone sour,
Bring on the cookies
that I’m gonna devour.
I need some sweetness
cuz my life’s gone flat,
I’m gonna eat and eat
til I get fat
My sweet’s gone sour,
Sour on me
My sweetheart’s gone
sour so I’m gonna eat
and eat and eat.

I’m gonna eat until
I explode
I’m gonna need a sign
that says ‘Wide Load’
I’m gonna eat myself
inside out
Gonna grow a curly tail
and snout
My sweet’s gone sour...

I miss your sweet,
sweet love
Miss it every day
The things I’m gonna
shove, shove away

I’m gonna eat my way
across the state
Jaws will drop about
the things I ate
I’m gonna eat until the
cows come home,
and then I’ll eat them
one by one.

My sweet’s gone sour..
