Lyrics:

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

So easy to leave it or take it in stride

So easy to read when she's faking her smile

She likes surprises, she likes surprises

Anything in colorful disguises

Lips and thighs abused by our eyes

Acting surprised that she likes it

Chocolate cream, an amphetamine

Torn at the seams, she's crying

So easy to leave it or take it in stride

So easy to read when she's faking her smile

She likes surprises, she likes surprises

Anything in colorful disguises

She gets a little I guess

She gets it more or less

She likes surprises

Anything in colorful disguises

So easy to leave it or take it in stride

So easy to read when she's faking her smile

She like surprises, she likes surprises

Anything in colorful disguises
