Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yellow light bulb, incandescent Cotton nightgown, soft and fragrant Don't put me down In the bathtub after dinner Swaddle me for twenty minutes Don't put me down [Pre-Chorus] You turn the lights out I'm all alone now My thumb in my mouth [Chorus] Oh, I need your love Take me in your arms, an ​eternal embrace I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time I won't push you away Is it all dried up? Unconditional love? Can I taste it again? I need milk [Verse 2] Underneath the kitchen table Pick me up and make a cradle Don't put me down You don't like the way I'm growing Lock the doors that used to open Don't put me down [Pre-Chorus] I threw my key out I'm all alone now Can I sleep at your house? [Chorus] Oh, I need your love Take me in your arms, an ​eternal embrace I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time I won't push you away Is it all dried up? Unconditional love? Can I taste it again? I need milk Oh, I need your love Take me in your arms, an ​eternal embrace I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time I won't push you away Is it all dried up? Unconditional love? Can I taste it again? I need milk [Verse 3] I don't know if I've been missing Something that never existed Don't put me down Let me back in from the wild I can be your golden child Don't put me down [Instrumental Outro]
