Butterfly Lips
Lola Mercer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She smells like everything that's sweet
And is she all that I need
And she wears her smile like no one else does
Cuz she is a perfect little peach

And I can't help loving her
And I would do anything for her

She's like candy floss and bubblegum and lying down beneath the sun
A soft breeze on my face
Lavender and butterscotch
Hearing songs you really love and sleeping in on rainy days

She's warm to the touch and she gives the sweetest hugs
And her lips always give me butterflies

And I can't help loving her
And I would do anything for her

She's like candy floss and bubblegum and lying down beneath the sun
A soft breeze on my face
Lavender and butterscotch
Hearing songs you really love and sleeping in on rainy days

And oh how I miss her my darling
And oh I could kiss her on her butterfly lips

She's like candy floss and bubblegum and lying down beneath the sun
A soft breeze on my face
Lavender and butterscotch
Hearing songs you really love and sleeping in on rainy days
She's a sweetheart and a lovely girl
And she's like a lovely pearl in my life
In my life

Lavender and butterscotch
Hearing songs you really love and sleeping in on rainy days
