[Verse 1]
See my face on your TV screen
Boom boom just like TNT
We glide right past security
Car bomb poppin' in your wet daydream
I don't wear leather, I wear C4
Hand on the trigger, blowing off the doors
Candy taste like electrolytes
With a petrol fetish and a match to light

[Pre-Chorus]
Just hold me like your hand grenade
The clock is ticking, no time for games
Will you just push the button and flick the switch
'Cause playing with fire can be dangerous

[Chorus]
I'm just like dynamite
I'll blow you up sky high
I'm just like dynamite
I'll set the night on fire
I'm just like dynamite
Show stops when I gotta blow up
Come on catch my gold burst
I'm just like dynamite

[Post-Chorus]
Fire cracker, fire cracker, bing bang boom
I'm TNT, dynamite, light my fuse

[Verse 2]
See my face in the magazine
Know me as the bomb machine
Big reward if you catch me
Blowin' up faster than the NYC
I don't eat snacks, I eat gun powder
Lazer blastin', gettin' louder
Try and get me if you can
But my bombs go boom bigger than Japan

[Pre-Chorus]
Just hold me like your hand grenade
The clock is ticking, no time for games
Will you just push the button and flick the switch
Cause playing with fire can be dangerous

[Chorus]
I'm just like dynamite
I'll blow you up sky high
I'm just like dynamite
I'll set the night on fire
I'm just like dynamite
Show stops when I gotta blow up
Come on catch my gold burst
I'm just like dynamite

[Bridge]
My lipstick is ballistic, I'm blowin' up your mind
My kisses are death wishes, I'm lightin' up the sky

[Chorus]
I'm just like dynamite
I'll blow you up sky high
I'm just like dynamite
I'll set the night on fire
I'm just like dynamite
Show stops when I gotta blow up
Come on catch my gold burst
I'm just like dynamite
I'll blow you up sky high
I'm just like dynamite
I'll set the night on fire
I'm just like dynamite
Show stops when I gotta blow up
Come on catch my gold burst
I'm just like dynamite

[Outro]
Fire cracker, fire cracker, bing bang boom
I'm TNT, dynamite, light my fuse
Fire cracker, fire cracker, bing bang boom
I'm TNT, dynamite, light my fuse

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.
