lyrics

I didn’t used to like you, but you didn’t seem to mind
I thought of your extended family to be the better kind
From that time my tastes have changed, I tried you once again
The fireworks ignited, so I’d like to make amends

Grapefruit, I love you grapefruit
You’re citrusy and sweet, with a bitter underneath
I love you grapefruit I need you
The love I have for you is limitless and true

(Alex sings)
You were kind enough to let me pour your juice into my glass
Twas the first I’d sipped of heaven, I knew our love would last
You’re a ruby on the inside, and an amber on the out
Your lycopene is what I need to make me sing and shout

Grapefruit, I love you grapefruit
You’re citrusy and sweet, with a bitter underneath
I love you grapefruit I need you
The love I have for you is limitless and true

And all of the bad times go away
The vitamin C you’ve given leads the way
Grapefruit I love you

From scurvy I’m protected by my favorite fruit of all
your juice goes well with breakfast and even alcohol
limes are far too bitter, and tangelos too sweet
oranges are jealous of the fruit I love to eat

Grapefruit, I love you grapefruit
You’re citrusy and sweet, with a bitter underneath
I love you grapefruit I need you
The love I have for you is limitless and true

Grapefruit, I love you grapefruit
You’re citrusy and sweet, with a bitter underneath
I love you grapefruit I need you
The love I have for you is limitless and true
