[Verse 1]
Every night I stay up 'til 3 AM and fantasize
Are you mine or are you playing round pretending that I'm blind?
I've got an awful habit
I chase the wild once it's so problematic
I guess it's in my blood
I keep second guessing, I need the pain to survive
Feels so good when you're bad to me

[Pre-Chorus]
You're on my mind and I can't shake it
Tried every time, and I can't shake it
Two hearts collide, and I can't shake it
I can't stop can't get enough

[Chorus]
Lost in your eyes, and I can't shake it
It's suicide, and I can't shake it
But I'm alive, and I can't shake it
I can't stop can't get enough

[Verse 2]
It's pretty bad
Yes I'm kinda crazy, I'm a heart attack
It's a fact, all the others think that I'm a maniac
You know that I'm addicted
To all your poison arrows and your kisses
I guess it's in my blood
I keep second guessing, I need the pain to survive
Feels so good when you're bad to me

[Pre-Chorus]
You're on my mind and I can't shake it
Tried every time, and I can't shake it
Two hearts collide, and I can't shake it
I can't stop can't get enough

[Chorus]
Lost in your eyes, and I can't shake it
It's suicide, and I can't shake it
But I'm alive, and I can't shake it
I can't stop can't get enough

[Bridge]
I've been hurt before
Baby, it's the truth
Your love is a sign
It makes my heart beat
Boom-boom-beh
It's like a boom-boom-beh
It's like a boom-boom-beh
I'm coming back tonight
Boom-boom-beh
It's like a boom-boom-beh
It's like a boom-boom-beh
Can't shake you off of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
You're on my mind and I can't shake it
Tried every time, and I can't shake it
Two hearts collide, and I can't shake it
I can't stop can't get enough

[Chorus]
Lost in your eyes, and I can't shake it
It's suicide, and I can't shake it
But I'm alive, and I can't shake it
I can't stop can't get enough

[Outro]
And I can't shake it
And I can't shake it
And I can't shake it
And I can't shake it

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.
