Melanie Martinez - Alphabet Boy lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Always aimin paper airplanes at me when you're round

You build me up like buildin blocks just so you can bring me down

You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry

If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don't be surprised

(Pre-Chorus)

I know my ABC's, yet you keep teachin me

I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy

You think you're smarter than me with all your bad poetry

Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy

(Chorus)

I'm not a little kid now

Watch me get big now

Spell my name on the fridge now

With all your alphabet toys

You won the spellin bee now

But are you smarter than me now?

You're the prince of the playground

Little alphabet boy

(Verse)

Apples aren't always appropriate apologies

Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me

You call me a child while you keep countin all your coins

But you're not my daddy and I'm not your dolly

And your dictionary's destroyed

(Pre-Chorus) + (Chorus)

(Breakdown)

Alphabet boy

Oh alphabet boy

Alphabet boy x 2

My alphabet boy

Oh-oh

(Chorus)
