Bang bang, na-na-na-na-na

Bang bang, na-na-na-na-na

Oh my God, think I'm in trouble (oh)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, you showed up and made me wonder

Looking fun but kinda dangerous too

Yeah, yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, I got lifted off the ground

I don't know what you've done, but it's just too good (oh, yeah)

Ooh-ooh, you've got something, think I want it

'Cause I never felt the way that I do

Yeah, when I'm with you, you

It's so hard to see through you, and that's why I want it

Bang bang, look what you started

Bang bang, straight to my heart

It skipped a beat, you feel like trouble (oh)

Bang bang, baby I've got it

Bad, bad, look what you started

Oh my God, think I'm in trouble

Bang bang, na-na-na-na-na

Bang bang, na-na-na-na-na

Bang bang, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, my God, think I'm in trouble

Ooh-ooh-ooh, what's the core of our connection?

Is it just that I know I'm bound to lose? (Yeah, yeah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, you're a fire, my obsession

And want all of your devotion for good, yeah

Ooh-ooh, you got something, think I want it

'Cause I never felt the way that I do, yeah

When I'm with you, you

It's so hard to see through you

And that's why I want it

Bang bang, look what you started

Bang bang, straight to my heart

It skipped a beat, you feel like trouble

Bang bang, baby I've got it

Bad, bad, look what you started

Oh, my God, think I'm in trouble
