Strawberry Gloss - Jill Sobule

Retainers and braces for our pretty faces

And starter-bras, shirts made of gauze

On a soft-focus field with the sunset behind

Strawberry gloss

Older girls with the Sun-In hair

Then my best friend became aware

Of the boys after school

She began to wear

Strawberry gloss

Someday, some way

Love will be calling, and I will be falling

Some time, I’ll find someone to love me, too

Hot wheels and comic books hidden away

For Seventeen Magazine and Gina Day

So I kiss the mirror to see how I taste

Strawberry gloss

Someday I’ll say that’s what made me

No regrets, maybe

Some time I’ll find someone to love me, too

It was a terrible time, and no one explained

Everyone suffers, so let me just say

Some had it worse and some feel a loss

Here I am waiting for you

In strawberry gloss…

Someday, some way

Love will be calling and I will go falling

Some time, I’ll find someone to love me too

Someday, I’ll say that’s what made me

And no regrets, maybe

Some time, I’ll find someone to love me

Someone to love me…

Strawberry gloss

(strawberry gloss)

That’s what made me

And no regrets, maybe…
