As if you were dipped in honey, drenched in marmalade Splenda, Equal and Nutrasweet stirred in lemonade Cinnamon in powder form is so hard to choke down But put it on a sticky bun? It's the sweetest thing around I was rotten and I was bruised The bad apple that ruined all the other fruit That's all forgotten and that's thanks to you I'm better as the bitter half of you Slathered in preservatives, covered in pesticides You've gotta cover your bases if you wanna become ripe A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down Unless you're a diabetic, that cliche is sound I was rotten and I was bruised The bad apple that ruined all the other fruit That's all forgotten and that's thanks to you I'm better as the bitter half of you Until I met the strands of your twisted DNA? I wouldn't have known sweetness if it slapped me in the face Your mother might tell you that you can't fill up on sweets But your mother is wrong, just look at what it's done for me I wasn't sure at first but thankfully I kept my faith Even a broken clock is right at least twice a day I was rotten and I was bruised The bad apple that ruined all the other fruit That's all forgotten and that's thanks to you I'm better as the bitter half of you I'm better as the bitter half of you
