i should have quit you, long time ago
i should have quit you, long time ago
i wouldn't be here, my children
down on this killin' floor

i should have listened, baby, to my second mind
i should have listened, baby, to my second mind
everytime i go away and leave you, darling
you send me the blues way down the line

said, people worry i can't keep you satisfied
let me tell you, baby
you ain't nothin' but a two-bit, no-good jive

went to sleep last night, worked as hard as i can
bring home my money
you take my money, give it to another man
i should have quit you, baby
such a long time ago
i wouldn't be here with all my troubles
down on this killing floor

squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg
squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg
the way you squeeze my lemon
i'm gonna fall right out of bed

i'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor

It has been reported that Tori performed a line or two of this song live, in-concert as an introduction to Icicle, although I have not been able to verify this.

"One of the first things that drew me to the album was the song titles. With The Lemon Song, I didn't understand the sexual innuendo. I was just thinking lemon-drop candy. I do remember that when I was 13, a junior high school friend filled me in on what it was really about. At first I thought, I don't really want to know this, but I turned it around in about five minutes."
