Oh oh oh oh (4x)

Go to bed and when it's cool and blue

And we wake up to a city on fire

One day i'm in love with you

The next i've lost all my desire

Some say that it's in my head

They know someone that i should talk to

All i know is when your in my bed

It's terrible that i could walk or lay down,

I wanna get this all out, all over you,

Stay down i hope that you don't mind being used, oh 

I can see now once again

You keep me warm and keep me guessing

Don't know what you did or seen

But sometimes this feels like obsession

On the bed, your one sound but feels like i've been here forever

Was the one that hunt you down

Cause i feel like this next to never lay down,

I'm gonna get this all out, all over you,

Stay down i hope that you don't mind being used, oh

Shake me

But you cant make me

Do what i don't want to

It's human nature

Promise, it's what you wanted

This is your future, with me

If you wanted something less,

Then why are you here every morning?

Now i know i must confess that you've become the other women

I remember once you said that you thought that i gave you balance

Don't know why i lost my head

Maybe it's cause your a challenge

Lay down, i gonna get this all out, all over you, stay down

I hope you that don't mind being used

So, lay down, i'm gonna get this all out, all over you, stay down

I hope that you don't mind being used, oh oh oh ooh
