LYRICS

My sister read me a story
The night that I told her I never wanna leave
But then she left me alone
And the state recommended a doctor I should see
Oh, and it's messing with my mind
Call it seasonal depression is a lie
Oh, that's funny, it's the middle of July
And you're threatening to drop me off
At the off stick, I go tripping, I said, "No, no"

I got some candy if you get too eager (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Give me some brandy, it's easy and cheaper (Ah)
My mama said I should talk
I should take more medicine
She said she could hear a difference in my tone
I got some candy if you get too eager
My mama said I should walk
Sleeping was more beneficial
She said she could hear a difference in my tone
I got some candy if you get too eager

Can someone read me a lullaby meant for a child
'Cause it would help me sleep?
Or even make me a snack, dip some apples in chocolate
Just so that I would eat?

Oh, and it's messing with my mind
When you're tellin' me I'm crazy, it's a lie
If you listen for a second, I'll be fine
And you're threatening to drop me off
At the off stick, I go tripping, I said, "No, no"
Call it seasonal depression is a lie
Oh, that's funny, it's the middle of July
And you're threatening to drop me off
At the off stick, I go tripping, I said, "No, no"

I got some candy if you get too eager (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Give me some brandy, it's easy and cheaper (Ah)
My mama said I should talk
I should take more medicine
She said she could hear a difference in my tone (I can hear a difference in your tone, Jillian)
I got some candy if you get too eager
My mama said I should walk
Sleeping was more beneficial
She said she could hear a difference in my tone
I got some candy if you get too eager

Now that I'm over the greatest depression
I hear the candyman
I could roll around in grass
I can even belly laugh
I could talk on my behalf
I could get up without overthinkin'
I could shower, get dressed without sinkin'

My mama said I should talk
I should take more medicine
She said she could hear a difference in my tone
I got some candy if you get too eager
My mama said I should walk
Sleeping was more beneficial
She said she could hear a difference in my tone
I got some candy if you get too eager
