Sweet, ripe, red as a street light

Color burst

Dripping in a syrup, it doesn’t mean much

When it’s just words

Sitting at the bottom of the liquor

I’m sipping but the sugar’s tasting bitter

Yeah excuse me if I seem elusive

But I’ve learned

Ma-ma-ma-maraschino cherry

How I’d love to love you

Still got a heart so could you spare me?

Don’t start caring if it isn’t true

Don’t lie lie lie ‘cause I’ll buy buy buy it

And I can’t afford to lose

Oh maraschino cherry

How real are you?

Rose glass gets you to fall fast

I should run

I know it so then why am I feeling the stem tied

Around my tongue

I’ve learned to question everything you’re saying

Wish I didn’t have to doubt your motivation

But you only get to be

Naïve once

Ma-ma-ma-maraschino cherry (cherry)

How I’d love to love you (love to, love you)

Still got a heart so could you spare me (spare me)

Don’t start caring if it isn’t true (caring, true please be true)

Don’t lie lie lie ‘cause I’ll buy buy buy it

And I can’t afford to lose

Oh maraschino cherry

How real are you? (how real are you?)

Ooooooh

(How real are you?)

Ahhhhhhh

Don’t lie lie lie ‘cause I’ll buy buy buy it

And I can’t afford to lose

Oh maraschino cherry (cherry, mmm)

How real are you?
