“Belly (The Grass Stains)” is the fourth track off of Rex Orange County’s debut album “bcos u will never b free”. This is an intentionally vague story of heartbreak told through scattered thoughts, making it so the narrative is second to emotions felt over the girl he once loved. The girl he speaks about is most likely the same one he is speaking to in the intro track “Rex” and all throughout the album. This song in particular is a reflection of his past relationship which he is still thinking about frequently Read more on Last.fm.

[Chorus 1]
I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved?
[Chorus 2]
I've been put down
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved?
[Bridge]
When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time
[Chorus 3]
I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved?
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time
[Chorus 1]
Oh, I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved?
[Outro]
When will I be loved?
Tell me, when will I be loved?
I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved?
[Chorus 2]
I've been put down
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved?
[Bridge]
When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time
[Chorus 3]
I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved?
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time
[Chorus 1]
Oh, I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved?

When will I be loved?
Tell me, when will I be loved?
