Peppercorn Tree

I nearly got deflowered

Under the shade of a peppercorn tree

And he swore that he loved me

Since we played kiss chasing in year three

And those sparks that flew

Are imprinted in our backs

Until my sister sat me down

Said, You're not the first around

You can be caught doing that

Give it three years

He'll be wearing hoppies

And I'll be knocked up

Getting back

And his love that is real

Will turn to brick and brack and teal

And big words on the wall in black

That read, love, leave, and dream

Something are we, mixed up to be

Legs in the air and sticks in my hair

And a kick with a kid, I'm letting you dream

I'm not throwing stones

Because this glass house is full of bones

Left by those before you and me

So before you go build your home

Go get out and roam

Far beyond the branches of that peppercorn tree

Give it three years

He'll be wearing hoppies

And I'll be knocked up

Getting back

And his love that is real

Will turn to brick and brack and teal

Big words on a wall in black

That read, love, leave and dream

Something are we, mixed up to be

Legs in the air and sticks in my hair

And a kick with a kid, I'm letting you dream

So whether you've been knocked up, let down

Kicked out for sleeping around

There's more than plenty of branches to go around

Whether you've been knocked up, let down

Kicked out for sleeping around

Yeah, there's plenty of folks round here

That'll get your feet back on the ground

I nearly got deflowered

Under the shade of a peppercorn tree
