[Intro – low sinister piano + distant vinyl crackle] (raspy whisper: I’ve been a bad, bad girl…) [Verse 1] I left the garden gates wide open just for you Let the devil in my dress, he said he liked the view I wear the crown of thorns like it’s Cartier Every sin a diamond, every tear a prayer I’ll be your favorite crime, the one you can’t confess Write my name in lipstick on your Sunday best [Pre-Chorus] Heaven is a place I’ll never get to see But I can make you kneel, boy, right in front of me [Chorus – slow, heavy drop] Sit on my guilty throne Let me ruin you slow I’m the queen of doing wrong And you love it, don’t you, don’t you? Take another bite of the apple, baby I’ve been careless with a delicate man It’s a twisted kind of foreplay When I’m breaking all I can [Verse 2] I keep your secrets in the hollow of my hips Taste your halo melting on my lips I’ll be the scar you show when you’re drunk and alone The sweetest kind of damage you’ve ever known [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been reckless with your fragile little heart But you keep coming back for another fresh start [Chorus – bigger drop, strings swell] Sit on my guilty throne Let me ruin you slow I’m the queen of doing wrong And you love it, don’t you, don’t you? Take another bite of the apple, baby I’ve been careless with a delicate man It’s a twisted kind of foreplay When I’m breaking all I can [Bridge – half-time, almost spoken, dripping sex] You say I’m cruel… I say you’re addicted You say I’m cruel… I say come closer [Final Chorus – full cinematic explosion] Sit on my guilty throne Let me ruin you slow I’m the queen of doing wrong And you’ll never let me go Take another bite of the apple, baby I’ve been careless with a delicate man It’s a goddamned work of art When I’m breaking all I can (raspy falsetto crack: breaking… all… I… can…) [Outro – piano fades into heartbeat kick] I’ve been a bad, bad girl… [End]
