Temptress

I’m oh-so-good at getting real messed up over you They see right through me and I call it love Put my heart in your hands, and it’s on fire One day I’ll wake up with the last sad song That I’ll ever write on the tip of my tongue But I’ll take what I can, and love the liar A straight-up mess of fraying endings, I Get caught up over things that I can’t help Ooh, I can’t help myself A temptress Before I knew what it meant I’ll make eyes at you from across the room But you won't take me home with you And years from now, with the lights out You’ll feel my sting from miles around In your chest, in your skin, in your lungs I’ll linger on An iron bar across my chest, hell it’s just A little baggage that can help attest To the damage I’ve done, it’s so much fun Looking for love in the wrong places, I've Made a lot out of living straight through hell Ooh, I can’t help myself A temptress Before I knew what it meant I’ll make eyes at you from across the room But you won't take me home with you And years from now, with the lights out You’ll feel my sting from miles around In your chest, in your skin, in your lungs I’ll linger on I need that spark like most need air to fill their lungs A thousand matches light me up, warmed by what I’ve done I need that spark like most need air to fill their lungs A thousand matches light me up, warmed by what I’ve done Ooh, yeah A temptress Before I knew what it meant I’ll make eyes at you from across the room But you won't take me home with you And years from now, with the lights out You’ll feel my sting from miles around In your chest, in your skin, in your lungs I’ll linger on
