[Intro]


[Verse 1]
             
There once was

              
 a bitter-swee

              
t man and they

            
 called him Le

mon Boy
             
He was growing

              
 in my garden 

              
and I pulled h

              
im out by his 

          
hair, like a w

eed
             
And like weeds

              
 do he only ca

            
me and grew ba

ck again
             
So I figured t

              
his time I mig

              
ht as well let

         
 him be

[Chorus]
             
Lemon Boy and 

             
me started to 

           
get along toge

#    
ther
             
I helped him p

             
lant his seeds

              
 and we'd mow 

            
the lawn in ba

      
d weather
             
It's actually 

             
pretty easy be

            
ing nice to a 

          
bitter boy lik

   
e him
             
So I got mysel

[Verse 2]
             
But soon his b

              
itter-sweet st

#
ff on me
