Those red pimples

Those red pimples are in love with me
Stalking me everywhere since I was a teen
Showing up uninvited to my sweet 16
First kiss, first break-up
They’ve witnessed everything
Graduations, layoffs
They think we are a team

Oy
Those red pimples are in love with me

They have some cousins on my neck
And some nephews on my back
Some tried to colonize my breast
Sorry I had to turn them back

Oy
Those red pimples are in love with me

Some have a big belly
Some are young and skinny
Some are shy and quiet, some are on a diet
But all of them
Want to marry me

Oy
Those red pimples are in love with me

They’re jealous of those pink mosquito bites
And are always complaining
About my summer rash
Those red pimples, what a trip
Do they seriously think they’re hip ?

When it’s cold and windy they dry on my poor skin
But when the sun comes back
They’re all over my chin
As if I were the queen
Or something

Oy
Those red pimples are in love with me

Those who have been hurt by an unfair love affair
Leave a scar on my skin that stays
For months
Like the pain
In my heart

Fights, tears,
They’ve witnessed everything
Those red pimples
They know a lot of things

One day who knows they might as well marry me
We’ll raise a family
And we’ll live
Happily
Ever
After
