[Intro]
Why's it so much better when we're not together?
Why's it feel so good when it's a bad-bad idea?

[Verse 1]
Will you protect me from the things that I want?
Will you be down and leave the second we're done?
I got one thing I want, I know that it's wrong
But I like to play with fire

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll fuck you with no feelings left
Cruel intentions in my head
Hate it but I love the way I'm feelin' kinda reckless
I know that we had a past, I just want my power back
Hate it but I love the way I'm feelin' kinda senseless

[Chorus]
It's a bad idea
But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself
It's a bad idea
But I can't help myself, so I'll just help myself to you

[Post-Chorus]
Why's it so much better when we're not together?
Why's it-why's it feel so good when it's a bad-bad idea?

[Verse 2]
The taste of chaos on the tip of my tongue
I kinda like the crazy girl I've become
It's about time that I just have me some fun
'Cause I like to play with fire

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll fuck you with no feelings left
Cruel intentions in my head
Hate it but I love the way I'm feelin' kinda reckless
I know that we had a past, I just want my power back
Hate it but I love the way I'm feelin' kinda senseless

[Chorus]
It's a bad idea
But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself
It's a bad idea
But I can't help myself, so I'll just help myself to you
(I got a bad idea, ha)

[Post-Chorus]
Why's it so much better when we're not together?
Why's it-why's it feel so good when it's a bad-bad idea?

[Bridge]
(Ah)
(No, I can't help myself)
(Ah)
Ha
I don't know what makes me feel this way (Feel this way)
I don't care because I like it (I like it)
I don't know what makes me feel this way (Feel this way)
But I won't stop because I like it

[Chorus]
It's a bad idea
But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself
(I got a bad idea)
It's a bad idea (No, no, no)
But I can't help myself (Help myself), no, I can't help myself (Help myself)
It's a bad idea
But I can't help myself (Help myself), so I'll just help myself to you

[Post-Chorus]
Why's it so much better when we're not together?
Why's it feel so good when it's a bad-bad idea?
Why's it so much better when we're not together? (Not together)
Why's it feel so good when it's a bad-bad idea?
(I got a bad idea)

Dua Lipa is a British singer-songwriter.

Born in London on August 22, 1995, she is the daughter of Albanian rock artist Dukagjin Lipa. She moved to Kosovo at the age of 11 before returning to the UK at age 15 to attend Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time. Posting covers of artists such as Nelly Furtado, Chance The Rapper and Rihanna, she signed to Warner Records (Vertigo/Captiol for Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and released her debut single, “New Love.” Its follow-up, “Be The One,” became her breakthrough single in mainland Europe. She was also shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2016 list and was nominated for the prestigious BRITs Critics Choice Award.

In 2016, she broke through in the UK with “Hotter Than Hell,” and scored her first Billboard Hot 100-charting single with “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” Collaborations with Martin Garrix and Sean Paul on their worldwide hits “Scared to Be Lonely” and “No Lie”“ followed in 2017. Her self-titled debut album was released on June 2, debuting at #5 on the UK Album Charts and at #86 on the Billboard 200 and receiving positive reviews from critics, many praising Dua Lipa’s vocals and confidence. The album’s sixth single, “New Rules,” became a worldwide hit, topping the charts in the UK and remaining in the top 5 for 10 consecutive weeks. In early 2018, “IDGAF” was released to similar success, while Dua won two BRIT Awards, including Best Breakthrough Act. She saw continued success with her Calvin Harris collaboration, “One Kiss,” and closed out the year with a Complete Edition reissue of her album.
