[Chorus]
I need your love
I need it even when it hurts me
I won't give up
I won't give up, so come and get me

[Verse 1]
Boy, you really messed around
Put me six feet underground
Always kick me when I'm down
But I'm still driving through your town

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to fake it, I can't take it
Boy you trapped my heart
I can't shake it, 'bout to break into a hundred million parts

[Chorus] (x2)

[Verse 2]
Wish that you could wear my crown
And feel the weight I'm feeling now
But I can't help but say your name
It's lightning when you're in my veins

[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus x2]

[Bridge]
Boy, you really broke my heart
Took my love and tore it up
But I'm coming back for you
Coming clean out of the blue
All the things you did to me
I forgive them quietly
But I will never forget
And still I end up in your bed

[Chorus - Variation] (x2)
(I need your love)
I don't want it
(I need it even when it hurts me)
You really hurt me, baby
(I won't give up)
Now, I'm giving up
(I won't give up, so come and get me)
Don't you come and get me, baby

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
