"Vanilla" lyrics

"Vanilla"

You're still plain and fickle
Looks like I don't know you and you don't know me at all
But your lips taste so simple
Like a spoonful of vanilla-flavored ice cream, my love

I know I'm not made of lace
And lace and potpourri
But there's nobody like me

You're boring, face it
At your best, you're still basic
You're everything I hate about our youth
I'm lost and hysteric
Anything but generic
Don't ever, don't ever
Don't you dare ever call me "vanilla"

I'm a mixture of water and bone
Not a clone or a stepping stone
See, I am a lot of things
But I can assure you I'm not what it is they say I am

Not lace, not potpourri
(Nobody like me)

You're boring, face it
At your best, you're still basic
You're everything I hate about our youth
I'm lost and hysteric
Anything but generic
Don't ever, don't ever
Don't you dare ever call me

So what's the matter, pretty, pretty?
It really is a pity, your flavor of choice
I know that this may be a whisper
But it's just our voice
And you're so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so (Our voice)

You're boring, so just face it
At your best, oh, you're still faceless
Yeah, you're everything I hate about our youth
I am lost and hysteric
Anything but generic
And I never, I never
I never wanna be called

"Vanilla", no, no
Don't you call me "vanilla", no, no, no
