Bad For You – Chappell Roan

You know that I won’t hold you back

When you think of things you shouldn’t

Things you want to do to me

Bare skin to sink my teeth in

Wrap my tongue around you as I hold you with my lungs

I bet you wonder what I’m doing when I’m alone in my room

When I’m alone in my room

And darling, I’m telling you it comes easy when I’m thinking about you

When I’m thinking about you

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Goddess, I’ll be your goddess

Lace your fingers round my neck, it’s pleasure I can’t take

Bet I know exactly what you’re doing when you’re alone in your room

When you’re alone in your room

Darling, tell me if you’re having trouble and I’m sure I could help you

I’m sure I could help you

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Blood on your back

I give you your pride

I am all yours and you are all mine

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you

Oh, forgive me for I love being bad for you
