[Intro]
Head, in your head, in your head, in your head
Head, in your head, in your head, in—
[Verse 1]
Is it love or obsession?
Does it all turn to pain?
Is it power possession?
Is it always the same?
Am I trippin' on acid?
I want you like a drug
Am I crazy for callin' it love?
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you don't want me
I know I'll never be free, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
'Cause you sink your teeth in every scar, and it give me pleasure
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
And you know you got me, you got me so good
And I'd do it over again if I could
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
[Verse 2]
If it's so masochistic
Why's it hit just the same?
When I know that it's twisted
Why can't I walk away?
'Cause for you, I'm an addict
And I'm dyin' awake
Keep you crawlin' inside of my veins
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you don't want me
I know I'll never be free, yeah (Never be free)
[Chorus]
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
'Cause you sink your teeth in every scar, and it give me pleasure
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
And you know you got me, you got me so good
And I'd do it over again if I could
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
[Bridge]
Close but not close enough (I won't forget ya)
Every kiss, every touch (I can't forget ya)
If I wanted to leave (You'd never let me go)
I'll never let you go
[Chorus]
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya (Oh)
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
'Cause you sink your teeth in every scar, and it give me pleasure (Oh)
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
And you know you got me, you got me so good
(Ooh, I'd do it) And I'd do it over again if I could
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya
(Head, in your head, in your head, in your head)
[Outro]
'Cause you dig your claws right into my heart, so I won't forget ya
