Lyrics
I don't wanna wonder what it feels like
I want to avoid wondering about the experience of loving you.
To love you under cover of this cruel night
To express love discreetly during this challenging night.
You say come a little closer please I won't bite
You ask me to come closer without fear of harm.
The way you're looking at me boy I just might, I just might
The way you're looking at me suggests I might be tempted to bite.
Cuz all I want is to be yours (be yours, be yours)
Expressing the desire to be exclusively someone's.
But I'm so much more than you take me for, yeah (you take me for)
I am more than what you perceive or assume about me.
All I want is to be yours (be yours, be yours)
Reiterating the desire to be someone's exclusively.
But you only see my worth when I'm out the door (I'm out the door)
Your recognition of my value comes only when I'm leaving.
Show up here unannounced
Show up unexpectedly.
The prophecy's playing out
A predicted event is unfolding.
Wait for the moment, then pounce
Waiting for the right moment to act.
And I'm back in your arms somehow
Returning to your embrace after a strategic move.
Leaving in the morning doesn't feel right
Leaving in the morning doesn't feel right.
We traded all our secrets in the moonlight
We shared our secrets under the moonlight.
I know it takes a little pain to win a fair fight
Acknowledging the necessity of pain for a fair fight.
Could you free from these shackles boy they're tied tight, tied tight
Requesting freedom from emotional restraints.
Cuz all I want is to be yours (be yours, be yours)
Expressing the desire to be exclusively someone's (repeated).
But I'm so much more than you take me for, yeah (you take me for)
Highlighting one's complexity beyond superficial perception.
All I want is to be yours (be yours, be yours)
Reiterating the desire to be someone's exclusively (repeated).
But you only see my worth when I'm out the door (I'm out the door)
Your recognition of my value comes only when I'm leaving (repeated).
You leave me
Expressing the emotional impact of being left.
Then crawl back, crawl back
Describing the cyclical pattern of leaving and returning.
Say you need me
-What's that, what's that
-You leave me
-Then crawl back, crawl back
-Say you need me
-What's that, what's that
-No you don't
Emphasizing the denial of neediness or dependency.
No you don't
-No you don't
-No you don't
-All I want is to be yours (be yours, be yours)
Expressing the desire to be exclusively someone's (repeated).
But I'm so much more than you take me for, yeah (you take me for)
Highlighting one's complexity beyond superficial perception (repeated).
All I want is to be yours (be yours, be yours)
Reiterating the desire to be someone's exclusively (repeated).
But you only see my worth when I'm out the door (I'm out the door)
Your recognition of my value comes only when I'm leaving (repeated).
I don't wanna wonder what it feels like
I want to avoid wondering about the experience of loving you (repeated).
To love you under cover of this cruel night
To express love discreetly during this challenging night (repeated).
You say come a little closer please I won't bite
You ask me to come closer without fear of harm (repeated).
The way you're looking at me boy I just might, I just might
The way you're looking at me suggests I might be tempted to bite (repeated).
