Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love

The moon is callin', all the bad boys come to play

You caught me howlin', there's a wolf inside of me

You know what I am, baby, and I know you're gonna be mine

B-be mine (uh)

No wrong decisions, yeah, the mystery is mine (uh)

It's not a crime if there's nothing left behind

You know what I am, baby, and I know you're gonna be mine

B-be mine

Tonight I won't wear my disguise

I'm 'bout to take you by surprise

You'll be the start of my demise

I'd kill for you

You can't escape my grip tonight

I won't go home without a fight

Already whet my appetite

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love (I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love)

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-)

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

When you scream like an animal, I know I've got my hands tied

Love, I'd kill for love (I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love)

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-)

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

When it's 12 on the clock, you know I'm comin' for the wild life

Have no illusion, I'm a monster on the prowl

And I found my next bite, yeah, I'm looking at you now

I know what you are, baby, and I know you're gonna be mine

B-be mine

Tonight I won't wear my disguise

I'm 'bout to take you by surprise

You'll be the start of my demise

I'd kill for you

You can't escape my grip tonight

I won't go home without a fight

Already whet my appetite

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love (I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love)

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-)

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

When you scream like an animal, I know I've got my hands tied

Love, I'd kill for love

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love)

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-)

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

When it's 12 on the clock, you know I'm comin' for the wild life

Talk to me, tell me where you from

Kill for love, kill for love

On the hunt, I'll be your snack for fun

Kill for love, kill for love

What's your name? Tell me where you're from

Kill for love, kill for love

On the hunt, I'll be your snack for fun

Kill for love

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love (I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love)

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-)

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

When you scream like an animal, I know I've got my hands tied

Love, I'd kill for love (I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love)

(I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-)

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

When it's 12 on the clock, you know I'm comin' for the wild life

...

Ooh

Come on

Woo

...

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

Kill for love, I'd kill for your love tonight

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for love

I'd kill for love, I'd kill for-

...
