I’ve been thinking lately, as summer fades away
Vanilla ice cream's kinda nice on a sunny day
And I’ve been caught up in a crush
Coming down off a sugar rush
But I need some bitter with the sweet
Before we can proceed
Cuz I’m a dragon
Yeah I’m guarding my coins, you can’t have them
I need a meal, I need the real, gotta give me something I can feel
I’ve got an appetite, I need fuel for the fire keeping me alive
You just leave me feeling empty
Sweet talk means nothing to me
All that sugar's gonna rot your teeth
Haven’t you heard of too much of a good thing?
Now I’m finally in my power
Your candy’s turning sour
(Spit it out, too much candy in your mouth
Spit it out, spit it out)
No, this honey’s not so sweet
You don’t wanna taste of me
(Spit it out, too much candy in your mouth)
I’m full of myself, don’t want your candy
I’ve been thinking; it’s a shame that love has always passed me by
Kinda seems like it might be foolish to try
I don’t know who you are
I don’t even know your name
I don’t know if someone’s out there waiting for someone like me
But I’m a fighter
I got standards and they get higher
Gotta keep up, I’m on the run
Don’t front with me, tell me are you the one
I need an alibi, baby you could come be my ride or die
All the others patronise me
Sweet talk means nothing to me
All that sugar will rot your teeth
Haven’t you heard of too much of a good thing?
Better listen to me carefully
I don’t wanna waste my time
For something less than divine
(Spit it out, too much candy in your mouth
Spit it out, spit it out)
No this Honeys not that sweet
Yeah we might have chemistry
(Spit it out, too much candy in your mouth)
But I’m full of myself, don’t want your candy
I got my eye on the prize
Are you along for the ride
If I show you the worst of me now
Are you gonna be there down the line
I got my eye on the prize
Are you along for the ride
If I show you the worst of me now
Are you gonna be there
Now I’m finally in my power
Your candy’s turning sour
(Spit it out, too much candy in your mouth
Spit it out, spit it out)
No, this honey’s not so sweet
You don’t wanna taste of me
(Spit it out, too much candy in your mouth)
I’m full of myself, don’t want your candy
