Regina Spektor - Belt lyrics

rate me

I know I say I'll go away

but then I don't, I come right back

and walk right smack into your lips and turn all black and blue

and though I've seen the light so many times before

I've also figured out the light is just a switch

that I can turn on, I can turn off

please, oh please

when it's off, you cannot see, you cannot hear

even in your ear, saying

yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

don't make me take off my belt and smack you upside the head

yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

don't make me take off my belt and smack you right side up

upside down a frown becomes a smile

and so he thinks I take it with a smile

double upside down a frown remains a frown

too bad he never checks the double upside down

when I'm doubled up on the floor and I see a double him

giving me a double wham bam

yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

don't make me take off my belt and smack you upside the head

yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

don't make me take off my belt(x2)

Smack(x8)

chicken soup, mashed potatoes, gravy, orange juice, milk shakes, pudding,

oatmeal, soft served ice cream

ain't it good that there's soft food cause I couldn't eat very much else right now

they ask me how well, haha, I bumped into a door

yeah, haha, I fell down some stairs

oh, I'm such a clutz

I say that very same thing to myself all the time

I say yo girl, can't you watch where you are?

you don't watch where the hell you're going, you're going to get yourself killed

you know, hey girl, can't you watch where you are?

you're going to get yourself killed(x2)

you're going to get yourself

I know I say I'll go away

but then I don't, I come right back

and walk right smack into your lips and turn all black and blue

and though I've seen the light so many times before

I've also figured out the light is just a switch

that I can turn on, I can turn off

please, oh please

when it's off, you cannot see shit, you cannot hear shit

even in your ear, saying

yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

don't make me take off my belt and smack you upside the head

yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

don't make me take off my belt(x2)
