White Stripes

The Hardest Button to Button

We started living in an old house

My ma gave birth and we were checking it out

It was a baby boy, so we bought him a toy

It was a ray gun and it was 1981

We named him Baby, he had a toothache

He started crying, it sounded like an earthquake

It didn't last long because I stopped it

I grabbed a rag doll and stuck some little pins in it

Now we?re a family and we?re alright now

We got money and a little place to fight now

We don't know you and we don't owe you

But if you see us around I got something else to show you

Now, it?s easy when you don't know better

You think it?s sleazy? Then put it in a short letter

We keep warm but there?s just something wrong

When you just feel that you?re the hardest little button to button

I had opinions that didn't matter

I had a brain that felt like pancake batter

I got a backyard with nothing in it

Except a stick, a dog and a box with something in it

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button, uh oh

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button, uh oh

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button, oh no
