Deadly Lyrics
[Chorus]
You should’ve known that I was trouble when you met me
He calls me pretty, but he loves me 'cause I’m deadly
You should forget it, they won’t hear you screaming, “Help me”
One look is all it took
He loves me cause I’m deadly
[Verse 1]
I’ve been causing a scene
But you love when I’m out of my mind and dangerous
You’ve been weak in the knees
Half scared, half hearts in your eyes, so save it
Oh, so precious, get your weapons
When you run, it gives me butterflies
I’m a mess, it gets so hectic
But you never say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Closer, baby, don’t be shy
[Chorus]
You should’ve known that I was trouble when you met me
He calls me pretty, but he loves me 'cause I’m deadly
You should forget it, they won’t hear you screaming, “Help me”
One look is all it took
He loves me cause I’m deadly
[Verse 2]
Blood stains, blue veins
Your skin as cold as ice
Not one complaint
No fear left in your eyes
And I don’t really wanna talk about anyone but us
Tried to get by me once, but I shut it down
Now you love the cuffs
[Pre-Chorus]
Careful, don't use up your luck
Something dangerous on my tongue
[Chorus]
You should’ve known that I was trouble when you met me
He calls me pretty, but he loves me 'cause I’m deadly
You should forget it, they won’t hear you screaming, “Help me”
One look is all it took
He loves me cause I’m deadly
[Outro]
Hooked on me, I figured it out
Likes a little crazy, gotta keep me around
On your knees, I’m breaking you down
You could say you hate me, but you never walk out
Hooked on me, I figured it out
Likes a little crazy, gotta keep me around
On your knees, I’m breaking you down
You could say you hate me, but you never walk out

Deadly was produced by lilspirit & Brandon Shoop.
What inspired the lyric "he calls me pretty, but he loves me 'cause I'm deadly?"
Chelsea and Geno (Lilspirit) actually wrote that line! The whole concept of the song, and a decent portion of the album, is about a female character who is very vixen like, a badass woman who goes around wreaking havoc because she’s had enough of being the underdog. Not to mention, sometime it feels...
What was it like to write the song with Brandon, Chelsea, and lilspirit?
Well, Lilspirit is my little brother and has produced/ co written a large portion of my music, so of course it’s always my favorite to work with him. Chelsea is so amazing at melodies, especially for hooks!! Every melody she sings feels like it could be the chorus of a radio hit. And Brandon is extr...
