Lyrics[]
Italics= DFG
Bold= Both
I was starting to have little aches and pains
It was the only thing that ran through my brain
So I went to the doctor's the next day
Because I was feeling not okay
We got there in a tizzy
I went with her because she was dizzy
She sat down in the doctor's chair
I ran my fingers through her hair
The doctor said be warned
This could be dangerous
Then he made us
Sign some papers
He offered a magic potion
Take two spoons a day, it won't be potent
You may fall asleep, calm as a lotion
And dream pretty dreams of the great big ocean
But be warned
Don't start to adore
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
And the potion, there won't be any more
I couldn't stop, I wanted the dreams
The potion tasted like sun and moonbeams
I started to act kind of mean
Had to let out a few of my seams
She became a pain in the ass
Thought it was a phase that would pass
Then she started to gain some weight
From the potion we thought was so great
The doctor said be warned
This could be dangerous
Then he made us
Sign some papers
He offered a magic potion
Take two spoons a day, it won't be potent
You may fall asleep, calm as a lotion
And dream pretty dreams of the great big ocean
But be warned
Don't start to adore
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
He offered a magic potion
Take two spoons a day, it won't be potent
You may fall asleep, calm as a lotion
And dream pretty dreams of the great big ocean
But be warned
Don't start to adore
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
You might pass out on the floor
And the potion, there won't be any more
Music Video[]
The music video starts at Cry Baby's house. Sophia is visibly in pain, so Cry Baby takes her to see the Bunny Doctor. He goes into his laboratory and mixes together a bunch of chemicals, and comes out with a magic potion. At first, Sophia takes the potion regularly, but then she spirals out of control and starts sleeping more frequently and yelling at her mother. In the end, Cry Baby finds her daughter passed out on the floor with an empty potion bottle next to her.

- There is no official clean version because 'ass' is not considered a swear word.
