[Verse 1]
Poaching in Galapagos
It isn't easy baby, woah-oh
Flipping your Geronimo's
I'm meant to tease you baby, woah-oh
Hissy fits and little alter egos
I'm meant to be a baby, woah-oh
If I'm the question then the answer is no
I'm meant to leave you baby, well
[Chorus]
Please, bet you'll make it anywhere
Cross another lover's eyes
And I think you'll have to double the dare
Seen a lot of kinds of things at eighteen
You were just thievin'
[Post-Chorus]
Heat
Under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the...
[Verse 2]
Trippin' at Bellagio's
I'm meant to need you baby, woah-oh
(Five, four, three, two, one)
Take you hostage then I count to zero
I'm meant to leave you baby, woah-oh
Half-leprosy doesn't seem too reasonable (Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
Quitting the team doesn't seem too dependable (Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
[Chorus]
Please, bet you'll make it anywhere
Cross another lover's eyes
And I think you'll have to double the dare
Seen a lot of kinds of things at eighteen
You were just thievin'
[Bridge]
Broken every record I own
You didn't need to be alone
Kissing dirty magazines at eighteen...
You were just leavin'
Heat under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the volatile revenge
(I was just teasin')
Heat under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the volatile revenge
(You were just thievin')
Heat under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the volatile revenge
(I was just teasin')
Heat under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the volatile—
You were just kissing dirty magazines at eighteen
Kissing dirty magazines
(You were just leavin', you were just thievin')
You were just kissing dirty magazines at eighteen
(You were just leavin', you were just thievin')
I caught you kissing dirty magazines
(You were just leavin', you were just thievin')
You were just kissing dirty magazines at eighteen
Kissing dirty magazines at eighteen
You were just leavin'
Heat under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the volatile revenge
Heat under the streets
Between the sheets
Amongst the volatile—
