you've fallen in love on the first date night?
how naive of you to assume i'm some knight—
in shining armor, i have no honor,
my name's spoken in whispers, you've not seen my true colors.

you smile so hard when i speak,
like you're enchanted and i'm some magic—
that has come true from your fantasies,
and cause you're lovestruck, like a genie—you'd grant all my wishes.

girl, you're head over heels in love and now you're driving,
blown past the speed limits and you'd soon be crashing,
you love so hard, you don't wanna use the brakes,
pedal to the metal, full pelt till you break—

and don't you think i'd be there to pick your pieces up,
but i'd like to peel your camisole off—
your skin, and take you ruthlessly to the edge of—
pleasure, and then you'd crash and burn all over again.

so baby, you should let me rock you,
your body is my favorite rollercoaster,
but i'm not in love with you, can't you see that—
caring too much takes the fun out of everything, out of every sin.
