retainers and braces for our pretty faces
and starter-bras, shirts made of gauze
on a soft-focus field with the sunset behind
strawberry gloss

older girls with the Sun-In hair
then my best friend became aware
of the boys after school
she began to wear
strawberry gloss

someday, some way
love will be calling, and I will be falling
some time, I'll find someone to love me, too

hot wheels and comic books hidden away
for Seventeen Magazine and Gina Day
so I kiss the mirror to see how I taste
strawberry gloss

someday I'll say that's what made me
no regrets, maybe
some time I'll find someone to love me, too

it was a terrible time, and no one explained
everyone suffers, so let me just say
some had it worse and some feel a loss
here I am waiting for you
in strawberry gloss...

someday, some way
love will be calling and I will go falling
some time, I'll find someone to love me too
someday, I'll say that's what made me
and no regrets, maybe
some time, I'll find someone to love me
someone to love me...

(strawberry gloss)

that's what made me
and no regrets, maybe...
