lyrics

Haven’t seen it all, but I’ve seen a lot,
And I know what you’re thinking:
“She can’t do too much, we could take her on if she was 7 years older”,

My dimples are dead face muscles,
I know I’m unassuming,
It don’t mean I don’t know how it feels to grieve,
My wrinkles ain’t coming in,
I know I’m unassuming,
So young, so sweet,
It’s not so simple,
Soft skin, wet sleeves,
Hot headed egos

Try to rope me in with the juveniles,
But you don’t know my secret,
I could do your job in an hour less,
Take me for what I don’t know,

My dimples are dead face muscles,
I know I’m unassuming,
It don’t mean I don’t know how it feels to grieve,
My wrinkles ain’t coming in,
I know I’m unassuming,
So young, so sweet,
It’s not so simple,
Soft skin, wet sleeves,
Hot headed egos,

I know that we’ll go places with no cure,
No ages,
I know that we’ll go places with no cure,
No ages
I know that we’ll go places with no cure,
No ages,
I know that we’ll go places with no cure,
No ages,
No ages, no ages, no ages, no ages,

My dimples are dead face muscles,
I know I’m unassuming,
It don’t mean I don’t know how it feels to grieve,
My wrinkles ain’t coming in,
I know I’m unassuming,
So young, so sweet,
So pure and naive,
Soft skin, wet sleeves,
Hot headed egos.
