“FROOT is a symbol for something really positive: you plant a seed, a tree grows, it bears fruit, that is the cycle of our lives. I feel like I’ve got to that point where I feel fully realized as a musician. I’ve never felt like that before.” - MARINA

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
You’re just another in a long line of men she screwed
Just another in a long line of men she knew
Oh yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do
Like all the boys before
Another dream come true

[Verse 2]
It’s a power, it’s a power, it’s a power move
And while I’m not quite sure what she’s trying to prove
They all say she’s got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?

[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

[Chorus 1]
I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you’re not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
She’s the apple of everybody’s eye
With an angel voice
Devil in disguise
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste ’til they’re out of use

[Verse 4]
And she'll network ’til her dreams come true
Even if it means getting into bed with you
Everybody’s friend, does it ring a bell?
I know a little too much but I'll never tell

[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

[Chorus 2]
I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you've been feeling down
You're always out on the town, town
But you can do better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Well, I guess it’s just what humans do
Hook up with other people 'til it all falls through
And when it’s over, they go out and try and heal their pain
Hook up with another lover, do it all again
I’m not passing judgment on her sexual life
I’m passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife
In my back ever since we were starting out
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you
You can do better than
You can do better than that

[Chorus 1]
I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you’re not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
