Lyrics
Intro
(Deep crowd: Stomp, stomp) Yeah, son
(Deep crowd: Stomp, stomp) Listen up
(Deep crowd: Stomp, stomp)
Verse
Son, I see you chasin' thorns in the dark
Arms wide open, pourin' out your spark
Think you're plantin' roses in the sand
But that prickly thing's got spikes in hand
You hug it tight, whisper sweet nothins low
Givin' all your love, but it don't wanna know
Pre-chorus
One squeeze and bam, the pain cuts deep
Blood on your shirt, tears on your cheek
Yeah, son
Chorus
It's like huggin' a cactus, son, huggin' a cactus
Tryna give it love, but it stings you back
Huggin' a cactus, oh son, huggin' a cactus
Don't waste your fire on a heart like that
(Deep crowd: Stings you back! Stings you back!)
Huggin' a cactus, yeah, huggin' a cactus
Find the right woman, don't look back
(Deep crowd: Don't look back! Don't look back!)
Verse
I been there, son, arms full of regret
Petals turn to needles, what'd you expect?
You water it daily, watch it grow mean
Suckin' up your soul, leavin' you lean
Pull away bleedin', swear you'll never learn
But next one's waitin', same old burn
Pre-chorus
Feels like forever in that twisted grip
Love's a loaded gun with a hair-trigger trip
Yeah, son
Chorus
It's like huggin' a cactus, son, huggin' a cactus
Tryna give it love, but it stings you back
Huggin' a cactus, oh son, huggin' a cactus
Don't waste your fire on a heart like that
(Deep crowd: Stings you back! Stings you back!)
Huggin' a cactus, yeah, huggin' a cactus
Find the right woman, don't look back
(Deep crowd: Don't look back! Don't look back!)
Bridge
Son, stomp them boots, shake off the dust
Ain't no bloom worth the busted trust
Grab a real one, soft and true blue
Let the cactus wilt, son, it's done with you
(Deep crowd: Done with you! Yeah!)
Chorus
It's like huggin' a cactus, son, huggin' a cactus
Tryna give it love, but it stings you back
Huggin' a cactus, oh son, huggin' a cactus
Don't waste your fire on a heart like that
(Deep crowd: Stings you back! Stings you back!)
Huggin' a cactus, yeah, huggin' a cactus
Find the right woman, don't look back
(Deep crowd: Don't look back! Stomp, stomp!)
Outro
Yeah, son... find the right one
(Deep crowd: Stomp, stomp... fade out)
