Dodie Clark - From Braces To Lipstick lyrics

[Verse 1] Muddy handprints and wonky teeth A promise made that I know I will keep Even though it was made In those careless days Of naivety Pinky promises And contracts signed A closer pair you will never find Good luck trying [Pre-Chorus] And the reason why it's taken me so long To write such a mediocre song is because I'll never be able to show you how proud I am [Chorus] We've gone from braces to lipstick From bikes to the road From doodles and stories to coursework on our own From boyfriend to boyfriend I've watched you grow Into the beautiful Alice I'm so proud to know; I love you so [Verse 2] It's pretty clear that we are strong I'd like to say the wedding is still on! But in all sincerity, you're being here with me for life And the red sofa bed is I don't know where And the Now 69 album's not been played for years But look at us now; we'd still do it if we could [Pre-Chorus] And the reason why it's taken me so long To write such a mediocre song is because I'll never be able to show you how proud I am [Chorus] We've gone from braces to lipstick From bikes to the road From doodles and stories to coursework on our own From boyfriend to boyfriend I've watched you grow Into the beautiful Alice I'm so proud to know; I love you so [Bridge] And we're certainly not bluetooth buddies anymore And I can't just gather up my Pj's and knock on your door And my phone doesn't ring to tell me you're 5 minutes away But Alice Kristina Webb, you're here to stay [Pre-Chorus] And the reason why it's taken me so long To write such a mediocre song is because I'll never be able to show you how proud I am [Chorus] We've gone from braces to lipstick From bikes to the road From doodles and stories to coursework on our own From boyfriend to boyfriend I've watched you grow Into the beautiful Alice I'm so proud to know; I love you so
