The chip on my shoulder is made of milk chocolate
Its sweet and its creamy
When I sit in the sun too long,
it melts and drips down my shoulders
making the crooks of my elbows stick together
What a mess!

Oh, who cares?
Let’s jump in the lake
I’ll paddle in circles around you
I’ll turn you red before the sun can,
because I know what’s in my heart exists in yours
and you make me so very bashful

If you want to float,
then float, gorgeous!
Your shoulders are burnt
and you’re off your rocker
If the water seeps onto the plastic,
and it cools you down,
then that makes one of us.

I hope you love how it feels
Did it roll over your neck quickly enough to jolt you?
For a moment,
could you anticipate anything more than lake water rolling down your spine?

God forbid you capsize,
But we’re wearing our bikinis!
Thread your dainty arm through mine,
And I’ll pull you back to shore
You look like a dream in the sunshine
But, my God!
Even your shadow is pretty
Is this
