[Intro] Well now girls… gather ‘round… Did you hear… what she said? [Verse 1] Fresh cut grass and a lemonade smile, Picket fence shining mile by mile, Lipstick red and the curls set tight, Looking like angels in the morning light Porch swing creaks and the teacups clink, “Darling, sit down, what do you think?” Sweet as sugar when the husbands pass— Then we sharpen every word like glass [Pre-Chorus] Oh we smile so sweet, While we watch and repeat… [Chorus ] Sugar, spice, and neighborhood lies, Pretty little secrets behind our eyes, Sip that tea, let the rumors rise— Honey, truth ain’t what we advertise Sugar, spice, keep it neat and nice, Cut you down but we’ll say it twice, With a grin so bright and a heart so cold— That’s the story that never gets told [Verse 2] Garden blooms but the roots run deep, Every promise we never keep, Wave hello with a perfect grin— While we whisper where you’ve been Curtains twitch when you pass on by, We don’t miss a thing, oh my oh my, Polished shoes and a flawless face— But we know every little trace [Pre-Chorus] Keep it quiet, keep it clean— Nothing’s ever what it seems… [Chorus] Sugar, spice, and neighborhood lies, Pretty little secrets behind our eyes, Sip that tea, let the rumors rise— Honey, truth ain’t what we advertise Sugar, spice, keep it neat and nice, Cut you down but we’ll say it twice, With a grin so bright and a heart so cold— That’s the story that never gets told [Bridge] “Did you hear about her?” “No, tell me more…” “Oh honey… you don’t even know…” We laugh, we sip, we play pretend, Every foe looks like a friend, Smile wide for the perfect scene— Living in a painted dream [Final Chorus] Sugar, spice, and neighborhood lies, Perfect little world in disguise, Raise your cup, don’t question why— It’s a sweet, sweet suburban lullaby Sugar, spice, say goodbye nice— Truth gets lost when you roll the dice, With a wink, a laugh, and a careful pose— Everybody knows… but nobody knows [Outro] Well… bless her heart…
