[Verse] I stood by the produce lost in the aisle Confused and bewildered about these roots in a pile Sweet potato or yam which one in my hand A question so simple yet hard to understand [Verse 2] I asked a kind stranger can you lend me your eyes She smiled and said sure which one's your prize Took a deep breath showed her what I'd picked She nodded and laughed my choice felt so strict [Chorus] Sweet potato or yam I'm just so unsure In a world of vegetables what’s the allure Thought I had it right but I was mistaken Embarrassment followed my confidence shaken [Verse 3] I walked to the checkout head hanging down low Holding my produce my cheeks all aglow The cashier she whispered don't worry dear We’ve all been there it’s not so clear [Chorus] Sweet potato or yam I'm just so unsure In a world of vegetables what’s the allure Thought I had it right but I was mistaken Embarrassment followed my confidence shaken [Bridge] I left the store wiser took solace in thought Next time I’ll know better but today I was caught Life's little lessons come in various forms Even in grocery stores amidst edible norms
