Hooked Lyrics
[Intro: Corbyn]
Ooh (You got, you got, you got, yeah)
[Chorus: Jack, All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked (Oh)
[Verse 1: Daniel, Corbyn]
You were there when I was low, you held me high
And baby when you take control, we can go all night (Ooh)
Every single place we go, you start a fight
But then you kiss my neck and take a bite
[Pre-Chorus: Zach]
Everybody says I'm sleeping with the enemy (Ah)
I don't even care if you're gonna be the death of me, me, me
[Chorus: Jack, All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked
[Post-Chorus: All, Daniel]
(Ooh)
I'm hooked
(Ooh)
I'm hooked (Brrr-ah, pa, pa)
[Verse 2: Jonah, Corbyn, All]
(Ooh) I know that I shouldn't touch, but you twist my arm
'Cause I can never get enough once the feeling starts (Ooh)
Baby, I'm the gasoline and your kiss is the spark
But then you take the wheel and crash my car
[Pre-Chorus: Zach]
Everybody says I'm sleeping with the enemy (Ah)
I don't even care if you're gonna be the death of me, me, me
[Chorus: Jack, All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked
[Post-Chorus: All]
(Ooh)
I'm hooked
(Ooh)
I'm hooked
[Bridge: Corbyn]
You got me under your influence (Ah)
I swear I'm never gonna give you up, up, up, up, up, up, up
[Chorus: Jack, All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could (Ooh)
It took one night, one try, ayy (Ooh)
Damn, I'm hooked (Oh)
[Post-Chorus: All]
(Ooh)
I'm hooked
(Ooh)
I'm hooked (Oh)
