[Verse]
You've told me maybe a thousand times
A smart girl would've recognized
There isn't any business in the streets
But some nights, Daddy
I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag
You're softly twisting a piñata suspended out of reach

[Pre-Chorus]
But I know with one good slap
I could take care of that
But who wants to loose the beast of spring?

[Chorus]
I guess it started off slow
But it's picking up speed
And it's gaining on me
Like a carnivore

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, la-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, la-da- da, da-da-da

[Pre-Chorus]
Daylight catches me by surprise
Almost every night
And kicks my way another hole to sleep
[Chorus]
I guess it started off slow
But it's picking up speed
And it's gaining on me
Like a carnivore

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, la-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, la-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, la-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, da da, ah da da
