Lemonade Lyrics

Whippin tonight in a mermaid
A touch of freaky makes it sweeter
A little tart and flavor that stays
To warm the insides like a heater
An extra dash of lime tonic
A ? to make it juicy
Amongst the freshest fruits from my stand
And then you got a couple dollars in your Gucci
It's everything you need and more
It's nothing that you offered up
Sometimes it only gives what it wants
And you can choose to use the good stuff
A rollercoaster right to the deep end
But it knows that you can't swim
Whenever life throws you lemons
It's what you choose to do with them

[Hook]
When life gives you lemons
You can go and build a lemonade stand
Sell it for a dollar fifty
Guaranteed to put a little cash in hand
When life gives you lemons
You can go and build a lemonade stand
You've got the choice in your hand
It's the ? in your head
The songs that you can't write
The scary film you wanted to see but
Now your ass can't sleep at night
It's the beautiful poetry
Without the heart of one to hear
The ? who killed the castle
Only had one life to live
It's everything you need and more
It's nothing that you offered up
Sometimes it only gives what it wants
And you can choose to use the good stuff
A rollercoaster right to the deep end
But it knows that you can't swim
Whenever life throws you lemons
It's what you choose to do with them

[Hook]
When life gives you lemons
You can go and build a lemonade stand
Sell it for a dollar fifty
Guaranteed to put a little cash in hand
When life gives you lemons
You can go and build a lemonade stand
You've got the choice in your hand
A killer recipe for lemon sweet
Taking a grate of lemon zest
Squeeze it in my tea
So much we can do with the rest..
Lemon smells so clean, makes your approach
That much meaner
Build a lemonade stand - you've got the choice in your hand

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
