You want the greatest thing

You've got it all, you've got it sized.
like a friday fashion show teenager
freezing in the corner
trying to look like you dont try

Thats sugarcane that tasted good.
thats cinnamon thats hollywood
c'mon c'mon no one can see you try

This sugarcane
this lemonade
this hurricane, i'm not afraid.
c'mon c'mon no one can see me cry
This lightning storm
this tidal wave
this avalanche, i'm not afraid.
c'mon c'mon no one can see me cry

Thats sugarcane that tasted good
thats who you are, thats what you could
c'mon c'mon no one can see you cry

Thats sugarcane that tasted good
thats who you are, thats what you could
c'mon c'mon no
