I made my bed and tried to sleep And still my eyes are opened wide Inside my head can't find my peace And all this hurt I just can't hide Maybe I'm a victim of my own defenses And maybe I don't care about the consequences I'm on fire, baby But so temperamental I burn it all down Burn it all down This violent heart inside of me It twists and turns and takes me low I played my part so silently And now I find I lost control Cause I should've known That telling you the truth would be forbidden And I was a fool to ever think That all would be forgiven And if I could have a better day Well, I'd just inhale, I'm living But oh, no, it's not enough for you So you can run and paint this town With the color of your lies And I'll keep sharpening myself Bleed you slow until you die Oh, why do we lie to ourselves Saying it's all in the name of love When my indifference knows no bounds And I have had enough Maybe I'm a victim of my own defenses And maybe I don't care about the consequences I'm on fire, baby But so temperamental I burn it all down I burn it all down I burn it all down, yeah I burn it all down I burn it all down Burn it all down

She told me I was taking her to places she'd never been before But really, she was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to Damn, let me start at the beginning Alright now, I want all of you brothers to get ready For some sho' 'nuff sweet honey for your mouth Yeah yeah yeah one two Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas Mom was a belly dancer, Pop was a never minder No drugs or alcohol and no weed or marijuana You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her First time I saw her kinda Reminded me of them chicks you see at CaroWina Friendly and talkative and looking so marvellous That nigga Tay feeling like Li'l Ze in the City Of Goddess But, I'm digressing, please pardon if I start trailing off Or fading out of my consciousness It's just that when I think of ole' girl my whole world collapses I was so enraptured in all of her flawlessness She approached me with a smirk to say That said, we can do work No matter what time or day of the week it is So thorough that backstage girl She'll fall to her knees just to pray on your weaknesses I mean, I told her straight up, you know I got a significant other, she ain't care She said for tonight I just wanna be your insignificant other What? Goddamn! We left the club at around two Just enough time to meet my niggas for round two At another spot, DJ playing the sounds too Hopefully divert me from being a scoundrel In the spot making my rounds through The crowd trying to throw her off But she's on me like a bloodhound Jew Wouldn't believe how hard I tried to fight it Passions and desires were closing in And that's what it amounts to I looked her in the eyes And say, "I don't even know your name It feels wrong even though I don't show it." She said, "I wish I could tell you the same But I won't tell you my name 'Cause I want you to fuck me like you don't know it."

I knew what time it was soon as I saw her Soon as she smiled at a nigga I could tell what her favorite position was And I damn sure gave it to her I thought I had changed, but niggas never changes But it took that one night That one passionate night for me to realize what I needed to do I gotta stop fucking with these hoes off of Myspace dawg Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas Mom was a belly dancer, Pop was a never minder No drugs or alcohol and no weed or marijuana You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
