[Verse 1]
Black mongoose, take me there
Suspended six inches in the air
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Rough up the hair on the head
Of my nine year old self again
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back?

[Chorus]
I'm kinda pretty, kinda busted too
Kinda disarming when I first meet you
Do you wanna cry? I do too
Do you wanna cry? I do too

[Verse 2]
I found a hair in my brush
Dark golden brown and long, oh, what a rush
To believe you used to stay with me
Come on, run, loosen up
You're always so fuckin' high strung
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back?

[Chorus]
I'm kinda pretty, kinda busted too
Kinda disarming when I first meet you
Do you wanna cry? I do too
Do you wanna cry? I boohoo
