Verse #2:
They called you tookie in high school, you didn't mind it too much

Some crazy lover's pet name, wind up hurtin' so much

Verse #3:
Y'all put that hammer down and drove through love's angel food cake
Tastin' every spongy layer and lickin' frosting off the moon
Wild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed
Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon
Chorus ad nauseum
