There’s a whacked out theory that this nonsense about it being The Berenstain Bears is proof we live in alternative universe. I don’t subscribe to the theory, but these lyrics are about a woman questioning her man’s love and referencing that concept as she mulls the bullshit she’s being told. You’ll either think this is way too obscure for a dance pop song and as such extremely stupid or you’ll think it’s brilliant.
Berenstein
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
see your mouth move
don’t know what to do
these lies you keep spouting
got my mind doubting reality
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
that’s what I wanna know
grew up thinking love was a sure thing
now all I got is painful sting
Berenstein rings a bell
your lies got me feeling doubt
what’s the truth my heart asks
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
I know I’ve got to be wrong
you’ve been telling the truth all along
but how can it be the facts say I’m right
you’ve been dipping your pin twice
don’t want to believe this unvierse
things have to get better right
otherwise we’re in trouble
I struggle to understand life
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
grew up thinking love was a sure thing
now all I got is painful sting
Berenstein rings a bell
your lies got me feeling doubt
what’s the truth my heart asks
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
[bridge]
doing a little reading
can’t help that sinking feeling
you’re gone for good
getting your loving from some other
my heart is breaking
thinking of the lies your stating
but when all is revealed
we’ll understand the truth
grew up thinking love was a sure thing
now all I got is painful sting
Berenstein rings a bell
your lies got me feeling doubt
what’s the truth my heart asks
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
is it Berenstein or Berenstain
