Peppermint Stick


She'll do anything anywhere anytime
It only takes a little bit to blow your mind
She'll say anything whisper what you want to hear
Just put down your algebra and pull her near

I've got a peppermint stick for all the greedy little girls
I've got a peppermint stick for all the greedy little girls

Now he's gone away but still forever on your mind
I've seen him with another girl he's with her all the time
This world is blue and gray
But it only takes a little bit to make it go away

I've got a peppermint stick for all the greedy little girls
I've got a peppermint stick for all the greedy little girls

She says I'm not being fair, yeah
She thinks I don't even care, oh yeah

She'll love anyone wrap your arms around her waist
Throw away your lemon drops and take a taste
This world is blue and gray
But it only takes a little bit to make it go away

I've got a peppermint stick for all the greedy little girls
I've got a peppermint stick for all the greedy little girls

All those nights, lonely nights, since he's gone away
All the love of your life goes away
