Who knew the greatest food in the world grew
Above my head each morning, and fell at my feet each night

Take a bite, bite, take a bite
Take a bite, bite, take a bite

How come nobody told me that I should climb the trees?
How come nobody told me apples were good for me?
Instead I grew bitter, eating sweet clementines
While inside I withered, shrinking from the rind

She knew, the goddess of the apples knew what I should do
She knew, the goddess of the apples knew what I should do

Take a bite, bite, take a bite
Take a bite, bite, take a bite

At night we gathered, feeling rotten straight to our cores
Screaming our grievances to the great outdoors
I (bawled/balled) my frustrations right into an angry fist
And I launched an apple into the darkness

She knew, the goddess of the apples knew what I should do
She knew, the goddess of the apples knew what I should do

Take a bite, bite, take a bite
Take a bite, bite, take a bite

We entered her temple and we counted (all) her heavenly consorts
And when the time came I declared my love through public concert
But who knew that all I had to do was
Take a bite, take a bite

No teams and no innings, no one was keeping score
No lose and no winning, but we kept coming back for more
How come nobody told me that I should swing for the trees
How come nobody told me she was waiting for me

She knew, the goddess of the apples knew what I should do
She knew, the goddess of the apples knew what I should do

Take a bite, bite, take a bite
Take a bite, bite, take a bite
