about

Archenemy was written and produced by Emma Alves in Tokyo, Japan. The song emulates the beautiful setting of its creation: "sweeter than sakura trees in the spring."

lyrics

oh baby boy
my love

you're my archenemy
look what you've done to me
the taste of honeysuckle on my tongue
is residue from you

sweeter than lemonade on a sunny day
sweeter than sakura trees in the spring
and I wonder why
I failed to realize
no, no, no, no

wonder why
I let you into my life
my love

looking back, looking back
I was bitter, he'd gone mad
raindrops fell onto my umbrella
all I wanted was a nice fella

looking back, looking back
I was naive, he'd liked that
raindrops fell onto my umbrella
all I wanted was a nice fella

you're my archenemy
consistent POV
empty wallet in your pocket
begging for my spare money
I'd never give you change
I bet you'll never change
flowers always looked so wilted in your gaze

I wonder why
I failed to realize
no, no, no, no

wonder why I let you into my life

looking back, looking back
I was bitter, he'd gone mad
raindrops fell onto my umbrella
all I wanted was a nice fella

looking back, looking back
I was naive, he'd liked that
raindrops fell onto my umbrella
all I wanted was a nice fella

see the funny thing
if he knew this was about him I bet he'd enjoy it
thinking "damn she can't get over this"
but the truth it, but the truth is

you a sick fuck you only wanna get lucky
wanna get game, lack of restrain
only go for the girls so much younger than you
you ensure they'll follow the rules

you take advantage, advantage
you take advantage, advantage
you take advantage, you do
advantage, you do
