VERSE 1
I used to dream you up like you were cherry pie.
I used to fantasize about my perfect guy.
My sweet delight.
My most favorite sight.
With even more to offer once you hit on what’s inside.
Oh, sugar, fill me up.
Oh, my love.
The day I met you, I thought, I’ve found what I’ve been after.
I’d thought you were my recipe for love, not disaster!
CHORUS
Yeah, I baked a cherry pie of love and of trust.
And I tried to hold it together, but you just ate the crust.
I shared with you my cherry pie, and what did I get?
Just one small little bit, just a cherry pit.
And now our love amounts to this:
Nothing but cherry pits.
VERSE 2
I shared with you my whole cherry pie.
And you ate ‘round the whole circle ‘till there was nothing left to try.
I can’t believe I even
Let you touch just one small slice.
I know you’re just another guy, but I thought that you were nice.
See, I’d written out this recipe
Of love and of trust
For my sweet Cherry Pie, but I became disgusted
Once I took a bite and was greeted by bitter spite.
Instead of cherries, what did I get?
Nothing but cherry pits.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I put in all that time and effort, and tell me, what was the use?
We had a good thing going, but now it’s all out of juice.
You’ve sucked them dry, all the cherries in my pie.
My tiny little bundles of bliss.
And now our love amounts to this:
Nothing but cherry pits!
CHORUS
Now our love amounts to this!
Nothing but cherry pits.
