i also didn’t realize it was a cover song for like ten years after i first heard it, lmao
i thought it was so cool that a girl called their boyfriend “buttercup.” between that and my long-held appreciation for any songs with gender-subversive lyrics, i suppose this qualifies as a #ThereWereNoSigns situation 😂
when i finally heard the original it was like ok that does make more sense, but i love the song just the same anyway
