[Verse 1]
Go ahead, touch me like that
The way you pull my head back
Go ahead, breathe me in
Bite me 'til I bleed
This love is like barbed wire running through my veins
Nicotine love

[Verse 2]
Go ahead, hurt me like that
I've been hurt before
I won't be fixed again
I'm not afraid to sweat
'Cause I like the pain and it's familiar to me
And more gentle than most men will ever be
Nicotine love

[Chorus]
But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satisfy this childish sin
This insatiable desire
Hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And I will put you to sleep
And I'll press you like petals
'Til you're fragile and thin
Then I'll breathe you in
Nicotine love

[Verse 3]
It hurts just right
Not to know your name
But feel that body beneath me
Struggling as if in some strange way it were the same
As when I was with him
Gonna make you promise
That you'll peek
Then I will crush your little heart
'Cause I can
Because it happened to me
Nicotine love

[Verse 4]
So come here, baby
My honey, cutie-pie
Let my fingers swim like pale fish through your hair
So I can tell you that I love you
You'll say, "Never let me go"
You wonder why it is I'm here
But patience and soon it will be all too clear
Nicotine love

[Chorus]
But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satisfy this childish sin
This insatiable desire
Hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And I will put you to sleep
And I'll press you like petals
'Til you're fragile and thin
Then I'll breathe you in
Nicotine love

[Verse 5]
So go ahead, touch me like that
The end is drawing near
Go ahead hurt me that way
You don't even know enough to fear
You don't know how true it is when you say
My kisses are sweet as death
But soon you'll have no more options
That's all you'll have left

[Verse 6]
'Cause this love is like barbed wire
I'm electric and so alone
So come here, stray cat
I'm gonna take you home
And then I will press you like petals
'Til you're fragile and thin
Then I'll breathe you in
Then I'll breathe you in
Nicotine love
