作曲 : Damiano David/John Hill/Sarah Aarons/Sammy Witte

You look like someone I know

Pretty like a picture

Dangerous as a dagger

I know I've been here before

There's something so familiar

Guess I'm going with ya

Eh! Oh! Do I really wanna know

If you're ever gonna let me go?

I know you're gonna call me crazy

It's not the first time I've called you baby

And every time you touch my body

It's like you ripped out my heart already

Come talk to me, I don't care

For you I wanna be heartless

You run your hands through my hair

And I forget I don't want this

Come talk to me, I don't care

For you I wanna be heartless

You'll tear my heart out again

But I'll feel alive, I'll feel alive, yeah

One taste already enough

Think that I'm addicted

Sure you're gonna kill me

Love is the sweetest drug

But nothing is delicious like your manipulation

Eh! Oh! Do I really wanna know?

I'll go wherever you wanna go

I know you've got control

I know you're gonna call me crazy

It's not the first time I've called you baby

And every time you touch my body

It's like you ripped out my heart already

Come talk to me, I don't care

For you I wanna be heartless

You run your hands through my hair

And I forget I don't want this

Come talk to me, I don't care

For you I wanna be heartless

You'll tear my heart out again

But I'll feel alive, I'll feel alive, yeah

'Cause I, I can't get you off my mind

Oh, I've, I've done this a thousand times

Oh

Come talk to me, I don't care

For you I wanna be heartless

You run your hands through my hair

And I forget I don't want this

Come talk to me, I don't care

For you I wanna be heartless

You'll tear my heart out again

But I'll feel alive, I'll feel alive, yeah
