Kitchen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know we got a real history
That's no reason I can't choose me (Ooh)
You know that dick been good to me (Ah)
You make it hard for me to choose me


[Chorus]
Dancing and kissing, the kitchen
Makes me forget, I forgive him

Mama told me I don't listen, back again
Crashing out on shrooms, I guard them
Cursing you solves all my problems
Vacationing in rock bottom, back again

[Post-Chorus]
So hard to do the right thing (Ah)
So hard to do the right thing (Oh)

[Verse 2]
You know we got a real history
That don't mean I'll let you abuse me (Ooh)
That pussy hit like royalty (Oh)
Must be hard for you to lose me

[Chorus]
Dancing and kissing, the kitchen
Makes me forget, I forgive him
Mama told me I don't listen, back again
Crashing out on shrooms, I guard them
Cursing you solvеs all my problems
Vacationing in rock bottom, back again (Oh)
[Post-Chorus]
So hard to do the right thing (Oh)
So hard to do the right thing (Oh, do thе right, oh, I)
So hard to do the right thing (So hard to do the right thing, ah)
So hard to do it (Ooh, so hard to do it)

[Outro]
You know we got a real history
Dancing, kissing, the kitchen
Makes me think I forgive him
(Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
Dancing, kissing, the kitchen
Makes me think I forgive him
(Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
