If you want me to
I'd clean it for you
If you want me to
I'd clean it for you

If you want me to
I'd burn them for you
If you want me to
I'd burn them for you
If you want me to
I'd burn them for you
If you want me to
[Post-Chorus]
But I know what you're doing
I know what you're doing
I know you
I know you
I do, I do, I tell you what
