Lyrics:

You've got a quick snap lock on your cold, cold heart
You've got your YSL kicks and a red birthmark
In the shape of Canada that you try to keep a secret
You've got a click clack walk and a cold hard stare
And if your eyes could talk they'd say they just don't care
Before they wander off to hide inside their sockets

You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip honey
You've got your secrets, you've got your regrets
Darling we all do

You've got a fool proof plan for a lonely life
You won't be no one's daughter and a drunk man's wife
If a wife at all
It's a silly institution
Or so you keep insisting

You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip honey
You've got your secrets, you've got your regrets
Darling we all do

You're cool coy 'bout your strawberry hip
It's you that's hidden by the expectations
We wanna see you, won't you show us where to start
You're talking trash with your replica lips
It's you that's echoing the conversation
Sweet Betty won't you show us who you are

You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip honey
You've got your secrets, you've got your regrets
Darling we all do

You've got a quick snap lock on your cold, cold heart
