cherry on top Lyrics
[Intro]
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
[Verse 1]
Always close to the moment where there’s no turnin’ back
And I just can’t relax
‘Til I feel both your hands on the small of my back
Oh, just to let me crash
[Pre-Chorus]
Into your arms, pull the alarm
The men in white coats came to take me home
But you’ll be comin’ for me soon
[Chorus]
Help me through the heartache I bare
Bitter, but it’s sweet when you’re there
‘Cause, baby, you’re the cherry on top
You’re the cherry on top
When I’m bad, you kiss me bettеr
Oh, you make my pain your pleasure
Prеtty, pretty please don’t stop
You’re the cherry on top
[Verse 2]
I was lost for the gone, then the eye of the storm (Ah-ah)
After it knocks out
Every light, every house ’til it’s suddenly warm
[Pre-Chorus]
Once you came around
You be the sun (Ah-ah), oh, and I’ll be the one (Ah-ah)
Flyin’ way too close just to feel the heat
You’ll burn your heart out just for me
[Chorus]
Help me through the heartache I bare
Bitter, but it’s sweet when you’re there
‘Cause, baby, you’re the cherry on top
You’re the cherry on top
When I’m bad, you kiss me better
Oh, you make my pain your pleasure
Pretty, pretty please don’t stop
You’re the cherry on top
You’re the cherry on top
[Bridge]
Nightmares, I scare everyone I touch
Long nights, sharp knives, I can’t be enough
Hold me, hold me closely, give me your love
[Chorus]
Hold me through the heartache I bare
Bitter, but it’s sweet when you’re there
Baby, you’re the cherry on top
You’re the cherry on top
When I’m bad, you kiss me better
Oh, you make my pain your pleasure
Pretty, pretty please don’t stop
You’re the cherry on top
[Outro]
Nightmares, I scare every one I touch
Long nights, sharp knives, I can’t be enough
Hold me, hold me closely, give me your love
