[Verse 1]
I'm not a vegetable
I'm just misunderstood
I've never been a vegetable
And I wouldn't be if I could

Put me in a certain aisle
Like there's no more to discover
But you gotta read my whole book
Not just look at the cover

People take one look at me
And they think they know who I am
But I'm here to say, once and for all
So that everyone can understand

[Chrous]
I'm a fruit
I'm a fruit
Don't define me so fast
Cause I'm herе to say at last
That, baby, I'm a fruit

[Verse 2]
Don't box me in
Unless you're putting mе in
A pizza box, it tastes so good
And no matter what kind of tomato you are
Sliced, or diced, or in a jar
In ketchup, or on a salad bar
Or sun-dried in a prima-vara
A tomato, I said a tomato-oh-ooh

[Chrous]
Cause I'm a fruit
I'm a fruit
Don't define me so fast
Cause I'm here to say at last
That, baby, I'm fruit
That's right
