[Verse 1]
Mama gave me candy from the kitchen drawer
The strawberry kind you bought me at the store
I put it on my tongue like every other day
But nothing tastes the same since you packed your things away
I heard the shouting through my bedroom wall
Saw your suitcase waiting in the hall
You said you’re going where you should’ve been
She has kids who need you, and a life I’m not part of
[Chorus]
Daddy, I’ll be good, I promise I’ll be better
I’ll clean my room and never cry at bedtime
I’ll be so quiet you won’t know I’m there
I’ll be your perfect little girl, I swear
Just don’t leave, just don’t leave
I’ll do anything, can’t you see?
I’m still your strawberry girl
[Verse 2]
Mama’s crying in the bathroom now
I’m standing here not making any sound
The candy’s melting sticky in my hand
I don’t know how to make you understand
[Chorus]
Daddy, I’ll be good, I promise I’ll be better
I’ll eat my vegetables and get straight A’s forever
I’ll learn to tie my shoes without your help
I’ll be the best, like no one else
Just don’t leave, just don’t leave
I’ll do anything, can’t you see?
I’m still your strawberry girl
[Bridge]
Is it something that I did?
Is it ’cause I’m just a kid?
Do her children smile more than me?
Will you think of strawberries?
[Outro]
The candy jar sits on the shelf
Now I reach it by myself
Everything tastes different now
But I’m still good, I’m still good somehow
I’m still your girl
I’m still your strawberry girl
React to this chapter:
This song is so relatable…sadly when things go south between couples, its the kids who end up suffering most.💔😢
