[Verse 1]
I wish I could be
Your first love the way you were mine
Wish you didn't remember this feeling
But knew it the way I know it (Yeah)
Wish you were impaled
And injured with love the way I am
You would cry when you saw my tears
The way I cry when I see yours
You can control me
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause baby, yeah, you own me like you own the world
And if you show me, then I'll be your girl
And I'll kill them if they try to hurt you
You dethrone me, boy, what nerve
[Chorus]
You call me pretty, oh oh
Boy, you call me pretty, oh
Got my hands dirty now
Only love can hurt me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I wish I could be
Your first love the way you were mine
Wish you didn’t remember this feeling
But knew it the way I know it (Yeah)
I wish you were impaled
And injured with love the way I am
You would cry when you saw my tears
Like I cry when I see yours
You can only lose yourself once, hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby, yeah, you own me like you own the world
And if you show me, then I'll be your girl
And I'll kill them if they try to hurt you
You dethrone me, boy, what nerve
[Chorus]
You call me pretty, oh oh
Boy, you call me pretty, oh
Got my hands dirty now
Only love can hurt me, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you own me like you own the world
And if you show me, then I'll be your girl
And I'll kill them if they try to hurt you
You dethrone me, boy, what nerve
[Chorus]
You call me pretty, oh oh
Boy, you call me pretty, oh
Got my hands dirty now
Only love can hurt me, yeah
