Lyrics

I don't need none of your bedroom bruised sweet box
And I don't need none of your spoiled ass sweet talk
Write on your face with my pretty knife
I wanna toy with your precious life
I want ya to know
I want ya to know
I want ya to know
I want you to know what love is
I don't need none of your tender back-seat love
And I don't need none of your two-bit machine love
I wanna write on your face with my pretty knife
I wanna toy with your precious life
I want ya to know
I want ya to know
I want ya to know
I want you to know what love is
I don't need none of your two-bit machine love
And I don't need none of your spoiled ass sweet talk
I wanna write on your face with my pretty knife
I wanna toy with your precious life
I want ya to know
I want ya to know
Just want ya to know
I want you to know what love is
