lyrics

You slide in
Your smile in place
Your lips red
And all that makeup on your face
I'm not saying that your money went to waste
But instead clothes, I’d much rather see

You cut so quick through
All the words they lay for you
I watch them lap at your ankles and you feet
As you stride over here
And nothing is the same
May I speak my mind
Say what I came to say

I like you better with those clothes off
Better with your hair down
Waiting for me
It's all that I need
Oh, my hands up on your bare back
If I could only get that
I’ll follow your lead

Cause we’re better off
Better yet
Better if I’m innocent
Better here than falling in love

And in those flashing flashing lights (flashing lights)
Both my crime and my alibi
And you beckon me into your sweet and subtle high
And I go
Panting at the sight of you
Wrapped around the very fingers I find myself slipping through
What a wicked way to strike
What’s a girl to do


If I like you better with those clothes off
Better with your hair down
Waiting for me
It's all that I need
Oh, my hands up on your bare back
If I could only get that
I’ll follow your lead

Cause we’re better off
Better yet
Better if I’m innocent
Better here than falling in love

I can’t wait ‘till you come through
can’t quite find what I thought I knew
Can’t wait in this thing you do
It’s me or you
Who's gonna
(I can’t wait)

Push
Pull
Tear me when my seams are loose cause
My
Hold
Is slipping and I see no use let’s
Do this
Right now
You’ve got me where you need

Cause we’re better off cutting through
The casualties we’ve scattered
Who fall across the room

Better yet I’m well equipped
To handle every little bit
You let me take of you

And it’s better if I’m innocent
Check my prints for the cinnamon We’re face to face
Now there’s one thing left to do

Let’s get those clothes off
Let that hair down
It’s you and me
And it’s all that we need
Your hands up on my bare back
How am I supposed to follow that
You take the lead

Cause we’re better off
Better yet
Better if I’m innocent
Better here than falling in love

No I don’t regret
Any little but if it
We’re swimming in the thick of it
I’m guilty as the sins that we love
And love that we need
