The Sting Lyrics by Ace Smith

Return to Sender

2018

[Verse 1: Sampled vocal]
When I was young
Just a little naïve girl
My mother told me
Don't get blinded
By the shiny things of the world
I smiled to her face
And whispered "Mom, this world is mine"
"It's not gonna hurt me"
"Everyone's friendly"
"No one needs to cry"

[Chorus: Sampled vocal]
Just one little thing
Reminds me of the day and the pain
I've changed my mind
Never been starry-eyed again
There's one little thing
That keeps the hurt away from me
It opened my heart, let me see the fine art
Of summer and spring

[Post-Chorus: Sampled vocal]
It's the sting
Mmm, it's the sting
It's the sting, mmm

[Verse 2: Sampled vocal]
I wish that I hadn't thought so
I was playing with the bees
Their song was fun
They were spinning around
And their flower love was so deep
But some hot sunny day
All the flowers passed away
And the bees stared at me
They would never believe
That the sun has made them weak

[Chorus: Sampled vocal]
Just one little thing
Reminds me of the day and the pain
I've changed my mind
Never been starry-eyed again
There's one little thing
That keeps the hurt away from me
It opened my heart, let me see the fine art
Of summer and spring

[Post-Chorus: Sampled vocal]
It's the sting
Mmm, it's the sting
It's the sting, mmm

[Verse 3: Sampled vocal]
That's how life is going
I was meant to like the bees
Their song must be fun
They were spinning around
And their flower love was so deep
And some hot sunny day
When the flowers passed away
And the bees stared at me
They would never believe
That the sun has made them weak

[Over Solo: Sampled vocal]
It was me
It was me, oh
It was me
Oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh, was me
It was me
Oooh-ooh, it was me
It was me

It was me, oh
It was me
It was me
La da da pa

[Chorus: Sampled vocal]
Just one little thing
Reminds me of the day and the pain
I've changed my mind
Never been starry-eyed again
There's one little thing
That keeps the hurt away from me
It opened my heart, let me see the fine art
Of summer and spring

Just one little thing
Reminds me of the day and the pain
I've changed my mind
Never been starry-eyed again
There's one little thing
That keeps the hurt away from me
It opened my heart, let me see the fine art
Of summer and spring

[Post-Chorus: Sampled vocal]
It's the sting
Mmm, it's the sting
It's the sting, mmm
It's the sting
Mmm, it's the sting

[Outro: Sampled vocal]
Oh, it was me
Oh, it was me
