[Verse 1]
I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment
[Chorus]
You come on like a drug
(Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough
(It's in our fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
(Can't stay much longer)
And there's so much at stake
(Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste
(I want to stay)
I never needed anybody like this before
(Closer and stronger)
[Verse 2]
I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing
[Chorus]
You come on like a drug
(Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough
(It's in our fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
(Can't stay much longer)
And there's so much at stake
(Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste
(I want to stay)
I never needed anybody like this before
(Closer and stronger)
[Verse 3]
You are a secret
A new possession
I like to keep you guessing
[Chorus]
You come on like a drug
(Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough
(It's in our fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
(Can't stay much longer)
And there's so much at stake
(Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste
(Temptation waits)
I never needed anybody like this before
(This before)
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
