Lyrics of Cherry On Top by Kali Uchis
[Verse 1]
If You Should Need More Than I Can Give
I Just Don’t Think You And I Could Be
No Need To Make Believe In Some False Discipline
Just Let Me Leave
[Chorus]
But If You’re Strong, Like A Man Should Be
We’ll Get Along, Let Me Be Feminine
No One Can Steal Our Joy
When We’ve Locked It Away
And Hidden The Key
[Post-Chorus]
I, I Feel Warm As A Fresh Apple Pie
When You’re Holding My Hand And Look Me In My Eyes
Sparks Fly Like The Fourth Of July
You’re The Cherry On Top, And You’re All That I’ve Got
’cause You’re Mine
Because You’re Mine
Because You’re Mine For The Rest Of Your Life
Never Just For The Night, Just Keep Doing It Right
[Verse 2]
Like A Man Should Do, We’ll Get Along
Never Misconstrue The Things We Know Are True
Like The Love That We Grew
Who Cares What They Say?
[Chorus]
So If You’re Strong, Like A Man Should Be
We’ll Get Along, Let Me Be Feminine
No One Can Steal Our Joy
When We’ve Locked It Away
And Hidden The Key
[Post-Chorus]
I, I Feel Warm As A Fresh Apple Pie
When You’re Holding My Hand And Look Me In My Eyes
Sparks Fly Like The Fourth Of July
You’re The Cherry On Top, And You’re All That I’ve Got
’cause You’re Mine
Because You’re Mine
Because You’re Mine For The Rest Of Your Life
Never Just For The Night, Just Keep Doing It Right
[Outro]
Running Away, Away, Away
Running Away, Away, Away
Running Away, Running Away
Running Away, Away, Away
Running Away, Away
Dee-ba-da-la-da-da-day
La-la-la, La-la-la, La-la-la, La-la
