Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer again today
Or pray that love will kick it?

Kick it love, see her little baby
Hey girl, she don't remember your name
Kick it love, mama gettin' busy
Got no time for games

Sticky wicked
She just got a pair of tickets to the opera in her mind
No applause, no encore if she dies

Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer again today
Or pray that love will kick it?

Kick it love, visions of her childhood
When her heart was gold
Sticky wicked
Tell me people what reason's good enough to die before you're old?
Kick it love, covenants of promise lay before your eyes
Stick wicked will trick U, lick U, then it kicks you aside

Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer again today
Or pray that love will kick it?

People crashing in the middle of the day
When you wake up, sticky wicked don't go away
Sticky wicked
Pretty stick wicked

Hey little baby, what's your name?
Oh, ain't she cute?
Mama, got to run today
I don't have time for games
No don't worry about me, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright

Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
People crashing in the middle of the day
When you wake up, sticky don't go away
If you want it, help is here today
There's a better God, don't you wanna play?

Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
