[Verse 1]
Girlie dress and making her best
She makes up her hair for the 90s
Dirty shoes and hiding her blues
She's dying to lose what she's finding
[Pre-Chorus]
So easy to leave it or take it in stride, mm
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
[Chorus]
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
[Verse 2]
Lips and thighs abused by our eyes
Acting surprised that she likes it
Chocolate cream, an amphetamine
Torn at the seams, she's crying
[Pre-Chorus]
So easy to leave it or take it in stride, yeah
Yeah, so easy to read when she's faking her smile
[Chorus]
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises, yeah
[Bridge]
Ooh
She gets a little, I guess
She gets it more or less
She likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
Woah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So easy to leave it or take it in stride, oh
So easy to read when she's faking her smile, ow
[Outro]
She like surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
Girlie dress and making her best
She makes up her hair for the 90s
Dirty shoes and hiding her blues
She's dying to lose what she's finding
[Pre-Chorus]
So easy to leave it or take it in stride, mm
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
[Chorus]
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
[Verse 2]
Lips and thighs abused by our eyes
Acting surprised that she likes it
Chocolate cream, an amphetamine
Torn at the seams, she's crying
[Pre-Chorus]
So easy to leave it or take it in stride, yeah
Yeah, so easy to read when she's faking her smile
[Chorus]
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises, yeah
[Bridge]
Ooh
She gets a little, I guess
She gets it more or less
She likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
Woah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So easy to leave it or take it in stride, oh
So easy to read when she's faking her smile, ow
[Outro]
She like surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
