Peppermint Girl
Queers · Move Back Home [1995]
Builds me up then tears me apart
She looks hot but she's cool
She's not my girl but I'm a fool, don't you know
I'm really stupid but I love her so
I'm only hoping that she wants to know
So cool, so neat and sweet, she's my peppermint girl (4x)
She put my heart into a spin
She wants out but I want in
She looks hot but she's so cool
She's not my girl but I'm a fool, don't you know
I'm really stupid but I love her so
I'm only hoping that she wants to know
So cool, so neat and sweet, she's my peppermint girl
