[Verse 1]
You came in soft
Like flour on my skin
Hands full of mercy
And a grin like sin
You knew my hunger
Before I said a word
You fed me slow
Best taste I ever heard
[Pre-Chorus]
And you mixed me right
No burn, no fuss
Just butter and patience
In the palm of us
You kept on stirring
Till my fear ran thin
Then you looked at me
Like, baby, dive in
[Chorus]
You love me like cake
Sweet on my tongue
You love me like cake
When the world go numb
(you love me like cake)
You keep me warm
You love me like cake
And I come undone
[Verse 2]
There’s icing on your fingers
And gold in your eyes
You cut me a corner
Of a better life
You don’t rush the oven
You don’t fake the flame
You let me rise
Then you call my name
[Pre-Chorus]
And you mixed me right
No burn, no fuss
Just butter and patience
In the palm of us
You kept on stirring
Till my fear ran thin
Then you looked at me
Like, baby, dive in
[Chorus]
You love me like cake
Sweet on my tongue
You love me like cake
When the world go numb
(you love me like cake)
You keep me warm
You love me like cake
And I come undone
[Bridge]
If I was dry
You made me rich
If I was cracked
You sealed each stitch
You don’t just hold me
You make me whole
Sugar and sorrow
Tied to my soul
[Chorus]
You love me like cake
Sweet on my tongue
You love me like cake
When the world go numb
(you love me like cake)
You keep me warm
You love me like cake
And I come undone
