The White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button

We started living in an old house

My ma gave birth and we were checking it out

It was a baby boy

So we bought him a toy

It was a ray gun

And it was 1981

We named him ‘Baby’

He had toothache

He started crying

It sounded like an earthquake

It didn't last long

Because I stopped it

I grabbed a rag doll

And stuck some little pins in it

Now we're a family

And we're alright now

We got money and a little place to fight now

We don't know you

And we don't owe you

But if you see us around

I got something else to show you

Now it's easy when you don't know better

You think it's sleazy

Then put it in a short letter

We keep warm

But there's just something wrong with you

Just feel like that

you're the hardest little button to button

I had opinions

That didn't matter

I had a brain

That felt like pancake batter

I got a backyard

With nothing in it

Except a stick

A dog

And a box with something in it

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button
