Lyrics

Ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine

You’d think that one percent is no big deal.
Experience has taught me, it’s for real.
The smallest drop of doubt is all it takes
to capsize any dream or plan you make.


Ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine

I wish that I could swing like Aaron Judge.
I swear I’d trade it all in for true love.
And those who tried to bend me to their will
are questioning their motives even still.

Why does love hide? How do you find it?
Often, tentative and fraught with fear,
Just this once, let’s strip the thin veneer.

(solo over chorus)

You want to believe each word’s a spoken vow,
but actions display an absolute account.
And one thing we should firmly learn to trust
ninety nine percent is not enough.

Ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine
Ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine
