I thought about the name of this song when my brother said he wanted cake and i suggested he take a shower and afterwards have cake. During the process of me telling him the requirements he must follow in order to get what he wanted i used the words "Stinky Boys Don't Get Cake"
lyrics
As i sit and sing along to a meaningful and important song
I picture us meeting
And enjoying the days 'till our hairline's receding
I still don't know how you look
But i know, oh i know it'll work
I won't settle for good enough i'll settle for you
I'll settle for you and only for you
This is not an "important" pledge or a cry for respect
It is simply my feelings on edge
My mind prints pictures and produces a video:
We are in an old apartment
Drinking wine that makes our throats warm
It makes our throats warm
I sit on a chair and bring you closer
Your smile to me is an art form
That you never get sick of looking at
Your face is my favourite place to watch and let our eyes chat
The rest is a mystery my mind can't yet make
But in the meantime stinky boys don't get cake
I hope you don't let me down
'cause i'm a fierce independent one
You won't get out with a joyless frown
No one has shown much interest in me, romantically
Not that i'm eager for it
I want to see into you
If that you allow me to do
I want to see into you
If that you allow me to do
I want to see into you
If that you allow me to do
The rest is a mystery my mind can't yet make
But in the meantime stinky boys don't get cake
