Sugarcoat
[verses]
The same old recipe,
This is how it’ll go:
You’ll call me A-to-Z
I won’t get a word in, never.
It’s just a puzzle piece, yeah
Bet you believe it tells you everythin’
Only if you knew, you wouldn’t believe...
[pre-chorus]
So,
You be callin’ me your honey,
But I know that at the parties,
You bet her type tastes so good
Tell me that you really want me,
Could be in it for the money,
It’s alright ‘cause you love me…
[refrain]
Sugarcoat,
Won’t you tell these pretty eyes
You know all about me
Just move, into the next lies
That you’re choosin’ for me
Don’t sugarcoat me baby
“Complex” is overrated
Thought you knew all about me
If you knew, you wouldn’t believe...
[verse]
In the dark,
Finally, I’m not all alone
Once you leave for the night
I’m holdin’ her hand and she knows
She belongs to me now~
Call her name, it’s my one and only
Somethin’s new and it’s starting tonight
(~We’re going to the stars baby!)
[pre-chorus]
So, you’ll be callin’ for me honey,
Just know that I won’t come runnin’
Bet you know that means we through
Grab me like you really want me
Fuck your diamonds and your money
First and foremost, I love me.
(Yeahh~)
[refrain]
Sugarcoat,
Won’t you tell these pretty eyes
You know all about me
Just move, into the next lies
That you’re choosin’ for me
Don’t sugarcoat me baby
“Complex” is overrated
Thought you knew all about me
If you knew, you wouldn’t believe...
[bridge]
Tell me what you thought you knew,
Really, tell me all that I’d wanna do.
Let’s switch it up my baby
Change is coming soon~
You know what?
Don’t need you to understand so,
I don’t need to prove a thing.
Believe more than what meets the eye,
Oh, it’s alright~
[refrain #2]
Sugarcoat,
Won’t you tell these pretty eyes
You know all about me
Just move,
The rhythm of your heart
Is what you’ve been missin’
Don’t sugarcoat me baby
“Complex” is overrated
I am the one and only
First and foremost,
And I love me
Don’t sugarcoat me baby
I am the one and only
Just move,
The rhythm of your heart
Is what you’ve been missin’
Don’t sugarcoat me baby
“Complex” is overrated
I am the one and only
First and foremost—
You better believe.

These English lyrics are written by me, and "Sugarcoat" is an early 2000s inspired Kpop song released recently, it was sung by talented Natty from the girl group KISS OF LIFE. I think the Korean lyrics are the absolute bomb because they delve into this idea of accepting yourself for all that you are, imperfections and all and contains beautiful imagery that depicts self-acceptance in such a powerful light under, oftentimes, restrictive societal standards--so I totally recommend listening to them (link to lyric video by Chaereve on YT) >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmPFhSyFZ4
Thanks for listening as always~ xx
