[English]

Ah

Oh, baby, your tongue set a fire

I was doomed when you kissed me in the kitchen

Your lips (your lips) tasted like (tasted like)

Dark red wine and reckless decisions

Satin sheets, Christian Dior

All our clothes fell down to the floor

Yeah, that night was two years ago (two years ago)

And I'm still sleepin' in this bed we made

Of fuckin' and fightin' each day

I try to leave, but I just stay

'Cause I've got (ah) skin in the game

You touch me, and lettin' go just goes down the drain

I've got (ah) skin in the game

I try to love myself, but it's not the same (ooh)

I'm not gonna play anymore

Screamin', "I hate you, walk away"

I'm not gonna wait anymore

Every time I think that I won't cave

I end up (ah) back at your place

'Cause I've got skin in the game

Yeah, baby, sometimes (sometimes) I drive (I drive)

And I drive (drive) 'til I almost cross the line

Of dancin' with somebody else

I kiss his lips and never tell

But he won't feel the way you felt

No, I can't help it

I've got (ah) skin in the game (oh)

You touch me, and lettin' go just goes down the drain

I've got (ah) skin in the game

I try to love myself, but it's not the same (ooh)

I'm not gonna play anymore (oh yeah)

Screamin', "I hate you, walk away"

I'm not gonna wait anymore (oh no)

Every time I think that I won't cave

I end up (ah) back at your place

'Cause I've got skin in the game

Ooh, I've got (ooh), oh, I've got (ah)

Skin in the game

Ooh, I've got (ooh), oh, I've got (ah)

Skin in the game
