[Intro] (Yeah, come on) (Set it down, mix it up) You bring the lemons I’ll bring the cup [Verse 1] You came in carrying half an idea Folded in your pocket with a little bit of fear Said it was too strange, said it was too late I put it on the counter, said, “Baby, let it wait” I cut through the doubt, stirred it with a spoon Added two claps and a Saturday tune You said, “That won’t work” — then you watched me grin By the time the brass hit, everybody joined in [Pre-Chorus] Squeeze it once, squeeze it twice A little nerve and a little ice Taste that trouble losing bite One more shake and it feels just right [Chorus] I make lemonade Out of every plan you almost threw away Lemonade Pour it high and let the whole room taste Sweet from the sour, loud from the shy You bring the “maybe,” I’ll bring the “why not try?” Lemonade Drink it down and make another day [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] You had a picture nobody could see A crooked little castle and a pink TV A rocket in the kitchen, a song in the sink A dress made of headlines printed out in ink You kept saying someday (someday, someday) I pulled out a pitcher and got in the way Now the whole block’s dancing on the fire escape To the wild little thing you were scared to make [Pre-Chorus] Squeeze it once, squeeze it twice Leave some mess, don’t make it nice Taste that trouble losing bite One more shake and it feels just right [Chorus] I make lemonade Out of every plan you almost threw away Lemonade Pour it high and let the whole room taste Sweet from the sour, loud from the shy You bring the “maybe,” I’ll bring the “why not try?” Lemonade Drink it down and make another day [Bridge] No silver secret, no grand machine Just one good nerve and a countertop clean You hand me the pieces, I hand you the straw Then we laugh at the rules we were frightened to draw (Stir it slow) (Taste that bite) That funny little idea was yours the whole time [Final Chorus] I make lemonade Out of every plan you almost threw away Lemonade Pour it high and let the whole room taste Sweet from the sour, loud from the shy You bring the “maybe,” I’ll bring the “why not try?” Lemonade Drink it down and make another day [Outro] Drink it down Make another day Drink it down Make another day (Lemonade) (Lemonade) [Instrumental Outro]
