Charades pop skill, water hyacinth
Named by a poet, imitation of life
Like a koi in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on, no one can see you try.
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced
You've got it all, you've got it sized
Like a Friday fashion show
Teenager cruising in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try.
That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon that's Hollywood
Come on, come on, no one can see you try.
No one can see you cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on, no one can see you cry.
This sugar cane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on, no one can see me cry
This lightning storm, this tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on, no one can see me cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on, no one can see you cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on, no one can see you cry
