Tash Sultana – Mellow Marmalade lyrics

[Verse 1]
I seep sourly into the depths of my mind
And find my sorrowfulness so very hard to define
Got my soul all twisted, all tangled in a noose
But the good outweighs the bad, I say
"Hell, what's the use?"
I keep skipping stones like a child with broken bones
But my mother always told me
"You gotta carry your bags back home"

[Pre-Chorus]
But I didn't wanna talk it through
Say things I don't really care about
No, I didn't wanna be next to you
'Cause I was feeling sorry for myself
And I like my eggs sunny side up
Is that a problem with you?
I don't carry on living my life with a pessimistic view
Keep discovering, oh [?]
Different colors of blue, different colors of blue

[Chorus]
Baby girl, why don't we slow it down?
We've been killing each other for months now
Baby girl, why don't we slow this down?
And don't go walking away from me right now
Don't go walking away

[Verse 2]
Call it lady marmalade, yellow mellow
The way you stole my stare was so damn evil
Can you tell me, what is that song?
I heard it playing on the radio

[Pre-Chorus]
But I didn't wanna talk it through
Say things I don't really care about
No, I didn't want to be next to you
I was feeling sorry for myself
And I like my eggs sunny side up, oh
Is that a problem with you?
And I don't carry on living my life with a pessimistic view

[Chorus]
So, baby girl, why don't we slow it down?
Don't go walking away from me now
Baby girl, why don't we slow it down?
We've been killing each other
We've been killing each other for months now
So, don't go walking away
From me, from me, from me
