Lyrics

When I’m you came to in, the air went out.

And heart ev ’ry and shad ow filled up filled up with doubt.

I don’t know what you’ve (Em)done to me, but I (B)know this much is true:

I wan na do bad things with you.

When I’m you came to in, up in his room,

And heart ev ’ry and eyes ow filled up with blue.

with doubt.

I don’t know who you (Em)think you are, but, be (B)fore the night is through,

I wan na do bad things with you.

I wan na do real bad things with you.

I don’t know what you’ve (Em)done to me, but I (B)know this much is true:

I wan na do bad things with you.

I wan na do real bad things with you.
