Sweet & Sour Lyrics from Genius.com

[Verse 1]

Best friend or my enemy

There’s never room for in between

First glance I’m a tangerine

Just wait and see what’s underneath

[Pre Chorus]

I’m an angel 'till you cross the line

Good girl but I’m doing time

One wink can make you sink inside

And turn your water into wine

[Chorus]

I can be sweet or sour

Just be careful what you ask for

I can be sweet or sour

I was doing fine without ya

[Verse 2]

Yeah I’m cute on the internet

Don’t be fooled by the silhouette

Soft stepping but a step ahead
