[Verse 1]
Stings like a snake bite
What you want, what you got
I don't need it
Just like a sharp knife
Cuts me through, makes me bruise
I don't feel it

[Refrain 1]
Lovin' your suicide, and I don't got the time
No, you will not change my mind
You will not change my mind
Lovin' your suicide, and I don't got the time
No, you will not change my mind
You will not change my mind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm not gonna be one of those girls
Who falls under spells every single day
Oh, I'm not gonna be one of those girls
Who falls, no way, no way

[Chorus]
Love like a strobe light
Run from the trouble
Runnin' from the trouble now
Love like a strobe light
To me [?]
Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus]
I will not be like this
But now I am in such a crisis
You blind me
You turn it on and I'm like
"Whoah, oh, oh, oh"

[Verse 2]
Now that your poison
Is sinking through, sinking down
I can't help it
My mind is frozen
Get me out, work it, I want you melted

[Refrain 2]
Lovin' your suicide, 'cause now I've got the time
Oh, you always change my mind
You always change my mind
Lovin' your suicide, 'cause now I've got the time
Oh, you always change my mind
You always change my mind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm just one of those girls, those girls
That fall under spells every single day
Oh, I love to be like all of those girls
Who fall, oh yeah, oh yeah

[Chorus]
Love like a strobe light
Run from the trouble
Runnin' from the trouble now
Love like a strobe light
To me [?]
Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus]
I will not be like this
But now I am in such a crisis
You blind me
You turn it on and I'm like
"Whoah, oh, oh, oh"

[Bridge]
Whoah, oh, oh, oh
You're just like a star, and you're shining so bright
Dancing through my bloodstream, your strobe light
Spin my heart round like a disco ball
Satellite lovin', now I want it all

[Chorus]
Love like a strobe light
Run from the trouble
Runnin' from the trouble now
Love like a strobe light
To me [?]
Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus]
I will not be like this
But now I am in such a crisis
You blind me
You turn it on and I'm like
"Whoah, oh, oh, oh"

[Outro]
You hit me like a strobe light in the dark
I said, you hit me like a strobe light in my heart
Oh yeah, you hit me like a strobe light in the dark
Oh yeah, you hit me like a strobe light in my heart

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.
