Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time that I sell myself to you
I feel a little bit cheaper than I need to
I will tear the petals off of you
Rose red, I will make you tell the truth
[Chorus]
Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice
Yeah, she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?
[Verse 2]
Every time that I stare into the sun
Angel dust and my dress just comes undone
And every time that I stare into the sun
Be a model or just look like one
Wild eye rot gut do me in
Do you think you can make me do it again?
[Chorus]
Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
Yeah, she was asking for it?
Did she ask you twice?
[Bridge]
If you live through this with me, I swear that
I will die for you and if you
Live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
[Chorus]
Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
Yeah, she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?
[Chorus]
Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
Yeah, she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?
