The Pretty Reckless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to hate you, but now I love you, so like a rose, so like a rose
And when you kiss me, I wanna slap you
Sorry I lost, to fill up the lost
I chew my nails down, I look at the ground, I am pissed, I am shy
Cause you threw me, in a blender, I am hot I am cold
Do you wanna get to know me,
Do you wanna learn to get inside my head
Do you wanna get to touch me, cause now my ex is officially dead
I dont l-l-l-l-like you
I l-l-l-l-love you
I used h-h-h-h-hate you
Now I really fucking love you
Ay ay ay, ay ay ay
I'm feeling stupid I wont tell you
I am blonde, I feel dumb
I sound sweetly in the daytime
Not on turn, not on turn
I soak my eyes out hoping youll shout
Be my girlfriend, be my girlfriend
When it just work, ill tell you it hurts, I want more, I want more
Do you wanna get to know me
Do you wanna learn to get inside my head
Do you wanna get to touch me, cause now my ex is officially dead
I dont l-l-l-l-like you
I l-l-l-l-love you
I used h-h-h-h-hate you
Now I really fucking love you
Ay ay ay, ay ay ay
Could you, could you, could you, could you keep a secret?
Would you, would you, would you, would you wanna keep it?
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna make a scandal?
But I can get ya, get ya, get ya by the handle
And if you, if you, if you, if you really feel me
Then ya got me, got me, got me, thinking maybe
For a minute maybe two were not in public
Ill make ya l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-lose it
I dont l-l-l-l-like you
I l-l-l-l-love you
I used h-h-h-h-hate you
But now I really fucking love you
Ay ay ay, ay ay ay
I dont l-l-l-l-like you
I l-l-l-l-love you
I used h-h-h-h-hate you
Now I really fucking love you
Ay ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay ay ay, ay ay ay
