[Verse 1]
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I can show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love’s a game, you want to play?
New money, suit & tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
[Chorus]
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
So goddamn reckless, we'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name
[Verse 2]
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
I'm you're king and you're my queen
Find out what you want, be that girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keeping you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?", you get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
[Chorus]
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
So goddamn reckless, we'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name
I'll write your name
I'll write your name
I'll write your name
Nice to meet you, where you been?
