spine Lyrics by Maggie Lindemann
[Verse 1]
You saw a risk worth taking, I wanted you to try
You'd always end up staying way past your slotted time
You said, "This needs explaining," I sighed and rolled my eyes
Told me that you're the man, and I just let you fantasize
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Gotta let you go
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Should've really known
[Chorus]
You're never gonna get it right, it's the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine, boy, he needs to grow a spine
Go on and rehearse your lines, say the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine, boy, he needs to grow a spine
[Post-Chorus]
Boy, boy
That boy he needs
That boy, boy
That boy he needs
That— that boy, boy
To grow a spine
To grow a spine, to grow a spine (Oh, yeah, he should)
[Verse 2]
I wanted something different, you were the first in line
I wish I hesitated, but I didn't see the signs
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Gotta let you go (You go)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Should've really known
[Chorus]
You're never gonna get it right, it's the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine, boy, he needs to grow a spine (Go, go)
Go on and rehearse your lines (Aah-ah), say the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine (Boy), boy, he needs to grow a spine
[Post-Chorus]
Boy, boy
That boy he needs
That boy, boy
That boy he needs
That— that boy, boy
To grow a spine
To grow a spine, to grow a spine (Oh, yeah, he should)
[Outro]
Boy, boy, you need to grow (Oh-ooh-ooh)
Boy, boy, you need to grow
Boy, boy, you need to grow (Oh-ooh-ooh)
Grow a spine
