[Hook (2x)]
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys, boys, boys, boys

[Verse 1]
You left a blood stain on the floor
You set your sights on him
You left a hand print on the door
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
This is our luck baby, running out
Our clothes were never off
We still have our roads to run about
To scale the map, scale the map
To get us back on track

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen you in a fight you lost
I've seen you in a fight

[Chorus]
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killing me

[Hook (2x)]
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys, boys, boys, boys

[Verse 2]
In here the world won't bring us down
Our plan is gold dust
Out there a lonely girl could drown
In here we're frozen
Where did the people go?
My hands are empty
You're not the answer, I should know
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before

[Chorus]
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killing me

[Bridge]
We're in a mess baby, we're in a mess babe
Your more is less babe, oh
We're in a mess baby, we're in a mess babe
Your more is less babe, oh oh

[Breakdown]
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
(I've seen you in a fight you lost)
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
(Like all the boys before, like all the boys before)

[Chorus (2x)]
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killing me

[Outro]
Killing me, killing me, killing me

Ellie Goulding

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
