Butterfly |
| Constantly creepin' caterpillar |
| Still a swoon in a cocoon |
| Soon you might emerge |
| And you’re made to emerge |
| A little longing to love, lush |
| Starving for affection |
| Hidden by the size of my perfection |
| With one exception… |
| If you wanna butterfly |
| You gotta be a butterfly |
| You know that nothing falls out of the sky |
| Still a swoon in a cocoon |
| If you wanna butterfly |
| You gotta be a butterfly |
| You know that nothing falls out of the sky |
| How do I hide somebody from the great blue wide? |
| I’ll come and sweep you up |
| 'Cause your time ain’t up, be patient |
| Now you see the sun is rising and your realizing |
| Wise enough to know |
| That you gotta let yourself grow |
| If you wanna butterfly |
| You gotta be a butterfly |
| You know that nothing falls out of the sky |
| Still a swoon in a cocoon |
| If you wanna butterfly |
| You gotta be a butterfly |
| You know that nothing falls out of the sky |
| What goes around comes back around; |
| This is nature’s way |
| Be conscious of what you do |
| Because you will be repaid |
| If you put turnips in the ground |
| You will not harvest grapes |
| You are what you attracted |
| And this is why I say; |
| Uhhhhhh… |
| If you wanna a butterfly |
| You gotta be a butterfly |
| You know that nothing falls out of the sky |
| Still a swoon in a cocoon |
| If you wanna a butterfly |
| You gotta be a butterfly |
| You know that nothing falls out of the sky |
| Constantly creepin' caterpillar |
| Still a swoon in a cocoon |
| Soon you might emerge |
| And be made to emerge |
| Maybe… |
| Still a swoon in a cocoon (repeated MANY times!) |
| Uhhhhhh… |
