Sweet Potato Lyrics - Sia

1 She cooks you sweet potato, you don't like aubergine

2 She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from grease

3 She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure

4 And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating your thoughts

5 How can she become the psychic that she longs to be

6 To understand you

7 How can she become the psychic that she longs to be

8 To understand you

9 He brushes thoroughly

10 He knows she likes fresh breath

11 He rushes to the station

12 He waits atop the steps

13 He's brought with a mars bar

14 She will not buy nestle

15 And later he'll perform

16 A love-lorn serenade, a trade

17 How can he become the psychic that he longs to be

18 To understand you

19 How can he become the psychic that he longs to be

20 To understand you

21 So give her information to help her fill her holes

22 Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled

23 Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in

24 Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin

25 Now my inner dialogue is heaving with detest

26 I am a martyr and a victim and i need to be caressed

27 I hate that you negate me I'm a ghost at beck and call

28 I'm fading and placating, berate myself for staying

29 I'm a fool

30 I'm a fool

31 He greets this stranger meekly a thing that she accepts

32 She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps

33 He senses she is lonely, she's glad they finally met

34 They take each other's hands, walk into the sunset

35 Do you like sweet potato
