[English]

I'm a vintage kind of love

Homicidal mind

You've been breaking skin

And slashing in

I'm the ghost in your thoughts

As you figured out, it all the cost

Ain't hard to be a stain

I reach to you, I reach into you

Turning your past, babe

Now won't you put me in your shrine, oh

I'm a vintage kind of love

And make the rules as we growin', ever

I'm a vintage kind of soul

As you take my hand and lie, I shine

I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you

'Cause you might kill us

I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you

...

I'mma care for you

...

I'mma care for you

...

I'mma care

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'mma care

...

I'm a different kind of drug

Cyanide in my lungs, in toxic ground

Stop breaking in, crashing in

Stop playing in the dark

You're my conductor of energy

Director of our fantasy

I lean from ya, I lean to ya

Nostalgic sweet taste

Now won't you meet me where our end comes

I'm a different kind of drug

See the world as we have and take it

I'm a different kind of sheriff

As I wrap myself in a tourniquet

I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you

'Cause you will kill us

I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you

...

I'mma care for you

...

I'mma care for you

...

I'mma care for you

I'mma care for you

...

• Now won't you put me in your shrine, oh

  ➔ Modal Verb ('won't') + Subject-Verb Inversion (for emphasis/question)

  ➔ The use of 'won't' (will not) and the inversion of the subject ('you') and verb ('put') creates a more rhetorical or emphatic question.

• I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you

  ➔ Contraction ('I'mma') + Verb Phrase
