lyrics

I didn’t realize the camera you gave me was a gift reliant upon appearing together.
I didn’t realize this keyboard you gave me was a gift dependent upon playing together.
I didn’t realize the post-its you gave me were each a tiny gift conditional to sticking together.
I only realize this now, because you say I can keep them if we’re staying together.

I may be yellow, but I ain't a square:
it’s more than your tone that’s making me scared.
It makes me shutter it makes me shiver;
I don't want to be with a Native American giver.

I don't know what you're hung up on; try to retake your composure.
I developed every picture; how’s that for full exposure?
Once you learn how to play the piano, just ask your ex-boyfriend for a a new one,
and I drew and wrote on every single post-it note; I guess you can have them back if you want.

I may be yellow, but I ain't a square:
it’s more than your tone that’s making me scared.
It makes me shutter it makes me shiver;
I don't want to be with a Native American giver.

Why would you bother even having them wrapped and delivered?
I don't want to be with a Native American giver.
