[Verse 1]
Tonight I'm taking names for the game
Can I be tamed?
I take a blue pill for the thrill
Sip it with alcohol
Any of them will do
Give me two at the same time
I go sowing my oats, far and wide
[Verse 2]
Sent a text to my ex on Valentine's Day
But nothing came back so I fuck the pain away
(Fuck the pain away)
Take a bite if you like
The first is free, the second you'll pay
I'm a reasonable man
[Refrain]
And now I'm flirting again
Again, again, again, again
Now I'm flirting again
Again, again, again, again
And now I'm flirting again
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again
With this one
With that one
[Verse 3]
Call me Ace of Spades, Lemonade
As I maintain your gaze
I don't know your name
Pink cocaine coursing through my veins
You could be my flame
All paths lead to the same place
I'm so tired of this scene
Make an honest man of me
[Verse 4]
So I dust off the moves that the dream boy taught me
Shave my chest, bench press
I keep it chill but naughty
So I dust off the moves that the go-go boy taught me
A whole lifetime ago
[Refrain]
And now I'm flirting again
Again, again, again, again
Now I'm flirting again
Again, again, again, again
And now I'm flirting again
Again, again, again, again
With this one
With that one
Oh
[Chorus]
(Flirt!)
Could you be the one?
(Flirt!)
Could you be the one?
(Flirt!)
Keep me on my toes
(Flirt!)
My tippy toes
I keep my cards close to my chest
(Close to my chest)
(Flirt!)
I keep my heartbreak all to myself
[Verse 5]
Tonight I'm taking names for the game
Can I be tamed?
I take a blue pill for the thrill
Sip it with alcohol
Any of them will do
Give me two at the same time
I go sprinkling my love over SW4
[Chorus]
(Flirt!)
Could you be the one?
(Flirt!)
Could you be the one?
(Flirt!)
Keep me on my toes
(Flirt!)
My tippy toes
I keep my cards close to my chest
(Close to my chest)
(Flirt!)
I keep my heartbreak all to myself
(Flirt!)
Could you be the one?
(Flirt!)
Could you be the one?
(Flirt!)
Keep me on my toes
(Flirt!)
My tippy toes
I keep my cards close to my chest
(Close to my chest)
(Flirt!)
I keep my heartbreak all to myself
[Outro]
He's flirting again
He's flirting again
He's flirting again
Oh

Kele Okereke:
’Flirting Again’ is about being thrust back into the scene and trying to remember how it all works. It’s about trying to appear desirable, whilst at the same time hiding the hurt that defines you. We are all carrying around the various scars that we have accumulated over the years, th...
