Lyrics

Who knew at night

Expressing surprise or realization about something during the night.

You’re a freak in the sheets

Suggesting a partner is adventurous or unconventional in intimate situations.

Making a mess out of me

Describing the impact of the partner's actions on the speaker.

Oh no

An exclamation indicating concern or realization.

And every time that you get close to me

Noticing a pattern when the partner is physically close.

I see what I wanna see

Seeing what the speaker desires or imagines.

Oh

Another expression of realization or emotion.

I can’t stop

Indicating difficulty in controlling thoughts or emotions.

Thinking about-thinking about you

Repetition of the difficulty in stopping thoughts about the partner.

I wanna take off your clothes

Expressing a desire for intimacy and vulnerability.

Cant stop thinking about-thinking about you

Reiterating the persistent thoughts about the partner.

Got me under control

Suggesting the partner has influence or power over the speaker.

I just wanna know

Expressing a curiosity or need for understanding.

Why you’re sleeping alone when you get what you ask for?

Puzzlement over the partner choosing to be alone despite having what they desired.

I just wanna know

Repeating the curiosity about the partner's solitude.

Why you’re sleeping alone when I’m the one you want, no

Questioning why the partner is alone when the speaker is desired.

Innocent girl

Describing a girl as innocent, possibly contrasting with her actions.

Who’s gonna hide you from the cold world

Wondering who will provide comfort or protection for the innocent girl.

The bottle only keeps you warm for so long

Highlighting the temporary solace provided by a bottle.

Innocent girl

Repeating the description of the girl as innocent.

I think I’ve got what you need

Claiming to possess what the girl needs, leading to her repeated calls.

That’s why you keep calling me, no

Stating the reason for the girl's repeated calls.

I can’t stop

Reiterating the difficulty in stopping thoughts about the partner.

Thinking about-thinking about you

Repeating the desire to take off the partner's clothes.

I wanna take off your clothes

Reiteration of the persistent thoughts about the partner.

Cant stop

Expressing the impact of thoughts on the speaker's self-control.

Thinking about-thinking about you

Repeating the persistent thoughts about the partner.

Got me under control

Highlighting the partner's influence on the speaker's emotions.

I just wanna know

Repeating the curiosity about the partner's solitude.

Why you’re sleeping alone when you get what you ask for

Puzzlement over the partner choosing to be alone despite having what they desired.

I just wanna know

Repeating the curiosity about the partner's solitude.

Why you’re sleeping alone when I’m the one you want, no

Questioning why the partner is alone when the speaker is desired.

I don’t know if you’re the right one for me

Expressing uncertainty about the suitability of the partner.

But I’d be crazy to say no

Acknowledging a willingness to accept the partner despite uncertainty.

But if I left to be by your side baby

Indicating a reluctance to leave the partner's side.

I’d wouldn’t wanna go home

Expressing a preference for staying with the partner over going home.

I just wanna know

Repeating the curiosity about the partner's solitude.

Why you’re sleeping alone when you get what you ask for

Puzzlement over the partner choosing to be alone despite having what they desired.

I just wanna know

Repeating the curiosity about the partner's solitude.

Why you’re sleeping alone when I’m the one you want, no

Questioning why the partner is alone when the speaker is desired.

(Oh oh oh)

Exclamatory expression, possibly indicating frustration or confusion.

Why you sleeping alone

Repeating the question about the partner's solitary state.

(Oh oh oh)

Repeating the claim that the speaker is the one the partner desires.

I’m the one you want no

Assertion that the speaker is the desired one.
