White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button Lyrics

We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we we're 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 didnt 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 its easy when you don't know better
You think its sleazy

Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm
But theres just something wrong when you
Just feel like you're the hardest little button
To button

I had opinions
That didnt 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(7x)
