Melanie Martinez - Race Lyrics






Sweet sweet hold you gently have over me
Caught me with your eyes and lips like sweet honey
Too bad I'm not as sweet as her honey tastes
Cause the average girl simply won that race

That race you kept on giving me
Left me hanging wanting more till you broke free
Bet shes sweet but not as sweet as I could've been
girls like her come and go like the boring wind

But I'm the type that stays
with your heart and my heart in many different ways
I call you making sure that you're alright in the day or in the middle of the night
sorry if that isn't good enough
confusion has become a little rough
and I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
and run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
but for now ill let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home
Hands so purple,
from the knuckle aches,
it's 'cause they,
create fragile hearts to break.

But a player, will soon see that
his karma goes bad,
when the girl that he wants,
stabs him in the back...

But, I'm the type that stays,
your heart and mine,
are different ways.

I call you, makin' sure your alright,
in the day,
or the middle of the night.

Sorry if that isn't good enough,
confusion has become a little rough.

And I'd be on you like the clothes you wear,
and run my fingers through your curled gel hair.

But for now,
I'll let the race be won,
by the girl, without a boy at home.

    Lyrics:[Verse 1]
    Sweet, sweet hold you gently have over me
    Caught me with your eyes and lips like sweet honey
    Too bad I'll never know how sweet the honey tastes
    Cause the average girl simply won that race

    That race you kept on giving me
    Left me hanging wanting more when you broke free
    Bet she's sweet but not as sweet as I could've been
    Girls like her come and go like the boring wind

    [Chorus]
    But I'm the type that stays
    Your heart and my heart in many different ways
    I call you making sure that you're alright
    In the day or in the middle of the night
    Sorry if that isn't good enough
    Confusion has become a little rough
    And I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
    And run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
    But for now I'll let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home

    [Verse 2]
    Hands so purple
    From the knuckle aches
    It's cause they
    Create fragile hearts to break


    But a player soon will see that
    His karma goes bad
    When the girl that he wants
    Stabs him in the back

    [Chorus]
    But I'm the type that stays
    Your heart and my heart in many different ways
    I call you making sure that you're alright
    In the day or in the middle of the night
    Sorry if that isn't good enough
    Confusion has become a little rough
    And I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
    And run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
    But for now I'll let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home

    what happened to this on soundcloud

    M.... ....

    Recently a lot of Melanie's unreleased songs were taken down. Since Melanie is the creator she is able to claim them as hers and have others take them down if she wants. At least that's what I think is what happened.

    M.... ....

    @SophanaR I think it's good she did. I mean, they are **her** songs.
