White Lyrics

Martin, she passed out
Fellas, she won’t put out

Ignorance wraps linen and lace
It’s her wedding day
Make-up heals
Hides the bruise on her face
From the other day

Day turns into night
Black turns into white
Her heart’s slowly sinking
The boy keeps on thinking
The best defense against a woman
Is another girl
Black turns into white
White turns into lies
Sweetheart, she said,
for once, just once, you could say that I look beautiful

Martin, she passed out
Fellas, she won’t put out

The answer is simple
Just say yes to the mess
And become Mrs. So and so…

Do you take this man to live an awful life?

Her decision was not mine
She taught us to hate him
But love him when all is well

Wrong turns into right
Right makes rage subside Sweetheart, she said,
for once, just once, you could say that I look beautiful

Martin she passed out

Day turns into night
Black turns into white
In earnest she needs him
But still she concedes that
To bring down the man
You must first learn how to skin the boy

Do you take this man to live an awful life?

Yes turns into why
Why makes his fist fly
He really does love her
He pushes and shoves her
That’s more than what anyone wants when they take a vow
Day turns into night
Black turns into white
Sweetheart, she said,
for once, just once you could say that I look beautiful

Martin, she passed out
Martin, she passed out
