I Want to Be Your Ugly Fruit

Liner Notes
@clo and I get together to work on songs every other week or so. He came to me with this song idea last week and I thought it was hilarious so we hashed it out and recorded it today. Took awhile to get through it without laughing! His daughters (in their 20s) were thoroughly mortified by the "booty isn't pumpin'" line so we decided we had to keep that in (parents, if you're not embarrassing your children, you're doing it wrong đ ). Just a little FAWM-fun for ya. But also a reminder that there is beauty in the imperfection.
Lyrics
Corey Lodico/Beth Kille 2026
CHORUS I want to be your ugly fruit My shelf appeal may vary day to day I may not look perfect on the shelf But trust me I still taste the same If you squint and tilt your head You just might think Iâm cute I want to be your ugly fruit
VERSE 1 My lips are thin my cheek may be sunken My arms are scrawny my booty isnât pumpinâ A little wrinkled, Off colored, a goof You wonât get perfection Youâll just the get truth
CHORUS I want to be your ugly fruit My shelf appeal may vary day to day I may not look perfect on the shelf But trust me I still taste the same If you squint and tilt your head You just might think Iâm cute I want to be your ugly fruit
VERSE 2 My voice may crack I might stray from key My verses may not rhyme Spotify wonât suggest me I might make you cringe There wonât be applause You wonât get perfection Youâll hear my human flaws
BRIDGE Not modified To look just like the next guy Iâll just be authentic Perfectly imperfect
CHORUS

Well said and sung. I love the metaphor. I feel like that fruit sometimes! Catchy melody.
This made me smile for so many reasons!!! Great song
What a fun, playful and flirtatious song! Yasss @bethkille! Great collab, guitar playing and lyrics. Beth thanks for putting me on to FAWM and working with me on my EP Born in the Fire this year, you rock! xoxo Liza
What a fun collab! Smooth guitar sound, and a sweet melody!
Waaaaay too fun creating. Helps off-set the gettin old thing.
Haha! Awesome!
Awwww embarrass those kids! They deserve it! Man this is relatable. I hope I can be my man @mattmeade âs ugly fruit from now until we decompose. The lyrics and melody are wonderful and I love the rhythmic guitar, @bethkille! I also love the banter back and forth - feel like I am a part of the conversation! Nice work!
This is such a sweet and clever song idea! I love the âshelf appealâ idea. Also âSpotify wonât suggest meâ made me chuckle. Great stuff!
Love it! Sweet sentiment, fun vibe. "Perfectly imperfect" is great. Many smiles and head bops here.
I'm driving back to Aldi to pick up that ugly lemon I passed by.
