Ethel Cain
​tongue (demo)
[Verse 1]
I used to be, I used to be that kind of girl like
Picture perfect when she speaks
And bats her lashes sweet
But I’ve been feeling coming over me
An affliction
Some addiction
'Cause my mouth says no
But my neck says please

[Chorus]
I think I wanted you dead
Fell as an angel just to please no matter where you want it
Fighting my way up to your tongue so I can die up on it
And show you what it really means to need somebody
Beyond their body
Telling me “Baby, it’s sweeter for me giving what you want from me
So takе what you want from me”
So I’m not letting up
'Cause whеn I’m under you
No matter what I do
I’ll still find my way to your tongue

[Dialogue]
"How come you been lyin' to me? How come you been lyin' to me?"
"I didn't, I swear, it's what I've seen. I wouldn't pull nothing like that on you."
"You don't want me. That bastard was right. I ain't stayin' with you, [?]. Let me go. Won't you please let go?"
[Verse 2]
Would you judge me for my prayers if I said them on my knees
But I am flesh and blood
And this flesh has needs

[Chorus]
I think I wanted you dead
Fell as an angel just to please no matter where you want it
Fighting my way up to your tongue so I can die up on it
And show you what it really means to need somebody
Beyond their body
Telling me “Baby, it’s sweeter for me giving what you want from me
So take what you want from me”
So I’m not letting up
'Cause when I’m under you
No matter what I do
I’ll still find my way to your tongue

[Chorus]
I think I wanted you dead
Fell as an angel just to please no matter where you want it
Fighting my way up to your tongue so I can die up on it
And show you what it really means to need somebody
Beyond their body
Telling me “Baby, it’s sweeter for me giving what you want from me
So take what you want from me”
So I’m not letting up
'Cause when I’m under you
No matter what I do
I’ll still find my way to your tongue
