Fortune Cookie
EMMA BALE feat. MILOW Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu tu turu turu tu
They say, "Emma, you don't understand,
You will need a helping hand"
They say, "Emma you're so way too young;
Just be quiet, bite your tongue"
There's only black and white, and only one right way
All I need is time to figure this all out
And why am I waiting on the other side?
And why do you say I'm wrong, when you know I'm right?
I need lucky numbers, and a Chinese phrase in a fortune cookie on rainy days
And I say
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu
I say, Emma, you will make it far
But only by being who you are
So I say, let them talk, and don't be shy
Emma, keep your head up high
I don't wanna listen to the ones who say
There's only black and white, and only one right way
Give me some time, and I'll figure it all out
And why am I waiting on the other side?
And why do you say I'm wrong, when you know I'm right?
I need lucky numbers, and a Chinese phrase in a fortune cookie on rainy days
And I say
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu
And why am I waiting on the other side?
And why do you say I'm wrong, when you know I'm right?
I need lucky numbers and a Chinese phrase in a fortune cookie on rainy days
I say
Tu tu turu turu tu
Tu tu turu turu tu

I heard this song in Imbiss a couple of months ago. I was eating a toast. It was good, I have to admit. Both the song and the toast.
