Lemon Drop

So sour 

So sweet

Pucker up lemon drop

It’s life 

It’s happy

It’s zesty

Pucker up lemon drop

Sunshine filled with flavour

Flavour that is bitter but sweet

Pucker up lemon drop

As a lemon 

Life is sweet 

But sour 

With layers of flavor 

Pucker up lemon drop

Like a citrus oasis

Life is paradise 

Paradise that you create

But only after a bit of sour

Pucker up lemon drop

Lemon drop

Lemon drop 

Sweet

Bitter 

Sour

Pucker up lemon drop

Life gave me sour 

But I made it sweet

With a sparkle of lemon

Pucker up lemon drop

Lemons and life 

Different yet so similar

Both have two sides 

Sweet and sour

Our life divided into segments 

Each with a burst of flavor

Each hard to swallow 

But a lemon drop it is.

You are a lemon drop 

You are both 

But life made us choose

Sour or sweet

You choose

Pucker up lemon drop
