Hold on you've gotta wait just a minute   See the cookie jar   I've got my hand caught in it   Just let me try and explain      You know I've been a good girl   But I hit a limit   I know there's not a lot of logic in it   But my life's been feeling to me      (Like lemon)   Sometimes it tastes so bitter   (Like lemon)   I've gotta make it sweeter      Stop right there before I get bitter   (Bitter)   There's got to be a way to make it sweeter   (Sweeter)   A little more like lemon meringue      So the other day well I found me a lover   Had a little hustle under the covers   It was delicious to me   Can't you see me there   Day dreaming of our future   I painted such a pretty picture   But my prince he never got back to me      (Like lemon)   Sometimes it tastes so bitter   (Like lemon)   I've got to make it sweeter      Stop right there before I get bitter   (Bitter)   There's got to be a way to make it sweeter   (Sweeter)   A little more like lemon meringue
