[Verse 1]
Does it make you feel better
With the bitter weather and your nana's knitted sweater?
I thought I was doing better at controlling my temper
I thought I was doing better at taking all the pressure
I'm not, but does it make you feel better
With the bitter weather and your nana's knitted sweater?
I thought I was doing better at controlling my temper
I forgot you were like a butterfly in the rain on a feather
And we fly, and we fly, and we fly away

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I try and move slowly
Then my thoughts control me
And if I don't act quickly
I'll get left behind
And if I speak so softly
Then I don't see clearly
And I can say
Oh, my God, I gotta open up my mind
Open up, open up my mind

[Chorus]
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me
And lace me with your lady loving, girl?
Ooh-ooh
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me
And lace me with your lady loving, girl?
La-la, lady
[Post-Chorus]
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl

[Verse 2]
But does it make you feel better
In your fancy leather and your most fitted dress up?
I thought that I was better at taking all my leisure
I thought that I was slowly piecing myself back together
I am, but does it make you feel better
In your fancy leather and your most fitted dress up?
I thought that I was better at taking all my leisure
I forgot that I was doing better at holding my shit back together
And I hide, and I hide, and I hide away

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I try and move slowly
Then my thoughts control me
And if I don't act quickly
I'll get left behind
And if I speak so softly
Then I don't see clearly
And I can say
Oh, my God, I gotta open up my mind
Open up, open up my mind
[Chorus]
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me
And lace me with your lady loving, girl?
Ooh-ooh
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me
And lace me with your lady loving, girl?
La-la, lady

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
