about

You're the single worst decision I've ever made
Throw my cares away
I like to keep you moving
Sliding down your seat at the cabaret
Love it when you say
"Who do you think you're fooling?"

Kiss me like you mean it, I'll do the same
If you bite me hard
Make sure you leave a scar
And love me like you don't need her anyway
It might seem bizarre
But I might let you break my heart

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

And I remember when I saw you the other day
In the alleyway
But you were busy drinking
All the single women like chardonnay
Tell me what you paid
For all that cheap champagne

Love me like you mean it, I'll do the same
'Cause you know it's true
That I'm a fool for you
I never meant to love you, it's just a game
This is child's play
But now there's so much more at stake

All the glamour
All the fortune that I've known
All these diamonds
Oh, my honey
And all you can say is "no"

So I'll smash the lights and set the whole stage aglow
It's the final scene
Where you confess to me
That I'm the only lover you've ever known
C'mon, lie to me
And say that we were meant
To be
