BALISONG Lyrics by Phantom Planet

Devastator

2019

[Verse 1]
Balisong, sweet balisong
I'm gonna keep her in my pocket
Till the right time comes along
I got my balisong in my pocket so long
And when I need her don't you know
She's gonna sing that sweet song

[Pre-Chorus]
Listen mother, mother
Hey mother, stop your nagging
'Cause you know it doesn't matter to me, no
I don't believe it when you say a word about my baby
If it's true, then only she could tell me so

[Chorus]
I said, "No!"
You know you lost her, now she's with somebody new
Playin' with someone in the shadows
Runnin' with the shadows

[Verse 2]
Butterfly, sharp butterfly
She might be pretty, but be warned
That when she cuts, she makes 'em cry
I got my butterfly, always hiding by my side
And if you need her, don't you know
She'll shine her way into your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
So, listen brother, brother
Hey brother, stop your bragging
'Cause you know it doesn't matter to me, no
I don't believe it when you say a word about my baby
If it's true, then only she could tell me so

[Chorus]
I said, "No!"
You know you lost her, now she's with somebody new
Playin' with someone in the shadows
Runnin' with the shadows

[Post-Chorus]
Nowhere near the windows
Only where nobody knows
Yeah, only in the shadows
I know because she told me so

[Bridge]
So, listen mother, mother
Hey mother, stop your nagging
'Cause you know it doesn't matter to me, no, no, no
I don't believe it when you say a word about my baby
If it's true, then only she could tell me so

[Chorus]
I said, "No!"
You know you lost her, now she's with somebody new
Playin' with someone in the shadows
Runnin' with the shadows

[Post-Chorus]
Nowhere near the windows
Only where nobody knows
Yeah, only in the shadows
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so

[Outro]
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so (Told me so)
I know because she told me so
