Apples & Onions Lyrics & Tabs by Jess Penner
Apples & Onions
guitar chords lyrics
I got so excited when I saw you for the first time
you were fresh and inviting
perfectly enticing yeah
in the most distinctive hue of crisp white linen kissed with blue
all polished and sophisticated the finest specimen oh oh
where had you been
Iʼd searched between the leaves to no avail
Iʼd sat beneath the trees hoping the sky would send me
something so delicious
like apples and onions
like whisky and wine
some are just born beautiful and some need time to
find out what theyʼre made of and
where they belong like apples and onions
you wonʼt recognize me
find out what theyʼre made of and
where they belong like apples and onions
you wonʼt recognize me
when you see what Iʼve become
from scrappy little fisherman to juicy little plum
from knotted hair and bruised up knees
to lips so sweet theyʼd make the bees
swarm around with jealousy you never saw this side of me
oh what lies beneath is not always as simple as it seems
like apples and onions
like whisky and wine some are just born beautiful
and some need time to
find out what theyʼre made of and
where they belong like apples and onions
what starts off intoxicating,
shiny and exhilarating
after a while It gets a little bit tired and
what at first seems dry and rough with skin so thick
and shell so tough you work so hard
to get inside and then you find something so delicious
