Sweet

I'm sweet
Red apples in the fall
Juicy as you break with your teeth
Running down your cheek
Wipe away on your denim sleeve
Sweet or maybe not at all
Shiny as a shine could be
Huddled in the trees
Drop me down when you're done

I'm sweet
Blackberries in the summer
Hidden in the thorns and leaves
And when you reach, bloods on your denim sleeve

Ah, Ah

I'm sweet
Frozen berries in the winter
Chilling in a plastic bag
Sitting in the back
Beneath the carrots and the peas
No, I never leave the freezer
Should've been a sour grape with a pretty face
And they'd love every bitter sip they take

Ah, Ah

But I'm not a blackberry
And I'm not a Honeycrisp
Oh, I'd love to be unsweet
Without thinking I'm a bitch
But maybe that's just in my mind
Maybe honest ain't unkind
But it's tough when you're a woman
Who was trained to be polite
And I'll tell you what I mean
With a smile no less
And I'll speak the truth
With a touch of sugar on my lips
Cause for now I guess
I'm still sweet
