Don’t know where I have been on Stepdad. Shawn Oliver posted their music video for “My Leather, My Fur, My Nails” on the blogs’ facbebook page, and I was immediately hooked. Stepdad is an electronic duo hailing from Grand Rapids, MI, consisting of two lads named Ultramark and Cobrazebra.
“My Leather, My Fur, My Nails” is an irresistible pop jam. It features one of the catchiest moments of the yea with it’s colorful chorus. It’s easy on the ears, but it should wear down your dance floors. It’s an absolute delight to put this one on repeat. The hook won’t leave your head for hours. Seriously.
It’s included on their debut EP, Ordinaire, which is available to snag for free via the bands bandcamp.

Hi!
Could someone please post the lyrics of this song? I´m not an English native speaker and just understand some of it (enough to know it´s really fun!), so I´d really appreciate it if anyone could transcribe them.
Thank you very much!

Here’s as good as I could get by listening to the song, please feel free to correct! The three dots are in places I really couldn’t make out words.
She’s got style
She rips it off like … and puts it on her coathook
She won’t smile
You dress… and I give her a second look
Think she was
Not a companion (?) but some pages in her journal
Things go wrong
We started equal but it got way too paternal
She wants a coat made of my leather, my fur, my nails
She’s always cold despite the weather
She needs sun, she’s so pale
You think she’s had enough, it’s not enough
She always wants more, she always wants more
Of my leather, my fur, my nails
(interlude)
Think she was
Not a companion but some pages in her journal
Things go wrong
I wouldn’t tell you all but keep it all eternal
You can’t realize the danger that I’m in
If she calls me, I’m not home
She wants a coat made of my leather, my fur, my nails
She’s always cold despite the weather
She needs sun, she’s so pale
You think she’s had enough, it’s not enough
She always wants more, she always wants more
Of my leather, my fur, my nails
Of my nails, of my nails
Take me out of water, shrink me in the dryer
Strut around and let the world …
Take me out of water, shrink me in the dryer
I don’t suit my scene (?)
Take me out of water, shrink me in the dryer
Strut around and let the world…
Take me out of water, shrink me in the dryer
I don’t suit my scene
She wants a coat made of my leather, my fur, my nails
She’s always cold despite the weather
She needs sun, she’s so pale
(repeat to fade with overlay of “she always wants more” section)

To me, the line you have as ‘Think she was’ sounds like ‘thinks she wants’ or ‘things she wants’ which makes more sense too.

I wouldn’t tell you all but keep it all eternal –> I think it’s internal not eternal

Also I think it’s She rips it off ‘my back’ and puts it on her coathook

Revised best guess, let me know what you think of some of the changes. I’m not 100% for sure

I just found the complete lyrics:
My Leather, My Fur, My Nails
She’s got style
she rips it off my back and puts it on her coat hook
She won’t smile
you’d best avert your eyes and not give her a second look
Things she wants
not a companion but some pages in her journal
Things go wrong
we started equal but it got way too paternal
She wants a coat made of my leather, and my fur, and my nails
She’s always cold despite the weather, she needs sun, she’s so pale
You think she’s had enough, it’s not enough, she always wants more She always wants more of my leather, and my fur, and my nails.
Things she wants
not a companion but some pages in her journal
Things go wrong
I wouldn’t dare to all but keep it all internal
You can’t realize the danger that I’m in
If she calls me, I’m not home
Take me out of water, shrink me in the dryer
Strut around and let the world know what disaster means
Take me out of water, shrink me in the dryer
I don’t suit my skin.
