The final song on Chappell Roan’s debut EP “School Nights” tells a story of a turbulent relationship spiralling around sex and longing. Roan’s husky verses and ephemeral lifts to chorus paint a scene of halfhearted regret and desire stronger than her sense of self worth.
[Verse 1]
You know that I won't hold you back
When you think of things you shouldn't
Things you want to do to me
Bare skin to sink my teeth in
Wrap my tongue around you as I hold you with my lungs
[Pre-Chorus]
I bet you wonder what I'm doing when I'm alone in my room
When I'm alone in my room
And darling, I'm telling you it comes easy when I'm thinking about you
When I'm thinking about you
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
[Verse 2]
Goddess, I'll be your goddess
Lace your fingers round my neck, it's pleasure I can't take
[Pre-Chorus]
Bet I know exactly what you're doing when you're alone in your room
When you're alone in your room
Darling, tell me if you're having trouble and I'm sure I could help you
I'm sure I could help you
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
[Bridge]
Blood on your back
I give you your pride
I am all yours and you are all mine
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
