Regina Spektor - Belt lyrics
[Regina Spektor - Belt lyrics]
Ba dum da dum da dum da dum
Ba dum da dum da dum da dum
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 or I can turn off
Please, oh, please, oh, 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
And 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 take me take off my belt
Don't make me take off my belt
And smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack"
Chicken soup, mashed potatoes, gravy
Orange juice, milkshakes, 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, hahaha, I fell down some stairs
Yeah, hahaha, I bumped into a door
Oh, I'm such a klutz
I, I say that very same thing to myself
All the time, 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 gonna get yourself killed
You know, hey girl
Can't you watch where you walk?
You're gonna get yourself killed
You're gonna get yourself killed
You're gonna 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 or I can turn off
Please, oh please, oh, 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
Then smack, smack, smack, smack, smack
Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack"
Ba dum da dum da dum da dum
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 or I can turn off
Please, oh, please, oh, 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

"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 take me take off my belt
Don't make me take off my belt
And smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack"
