[Verse 1]
I haven't stopped watching you since
You wandered in
My eyes have been right there with ya
Boy, you should know
You're so beautiful
You could be holding my glass slipper
You won't leave here till I show you how this story goes
[Chorus]
I can't always be the damsel in distress
You're the sweetest man I've seen, and you'd never guess
That I'm 'bout to steal your heart right out of your chest
Oh, I guess this time, I'm the villain
[Verse 2]
You keep looking my way
Bet 'cha feel strange
'Cause I'm in your veins, yeah, like poison
No way to tell
You're under my spell
Till everyone else fades to noise
And just like that I make the other girls all disappear
[Chorus]
I can't always be the damsel in distress
You're the sweetest man I've seen, and you'd never guess
That I'm 'bout to steal your heart right out of your chest
Oh, I guess this time, I'm the villain
[Bridge]
No one can save
My knight in armor
You won't escape my love
[Chorus + Outro]
I can't always be the damsel in distress
You're the sweetest man I've seen, and you'd never guess
That I'm 'bout to steal your heart right out of your chest
Oh, I guess this time, I'm the villain
Yeah, this time, I'm the villain
No, this time, I'm the villain
The villain
