Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Late night on smoke, pistols at dawn

Last time the bullet hit before my gun was drawn

You strip my guard down, man, I can't believe

God forbid, I choose my wants over my needs, but

[PreChorus]

I wanna tear into another love

I wanna dare myself to crash into us

Think I was scared to take more than a touch

I'm a bad, bad, loser (Yeah)

I'ma stay close to you

You don't even know me, do you?

[Chorus]

I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer

Bang-bang, gun fingers in the mirror

I won't get caught this time

Commit the perfect crime

I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer

Bang-bang, gun fingers in the mirror

I won't get caught this time

Commit the perfect crime

[Refrain]

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

[Verse 2]

I'm gon' mix love into sex, and suffer no side effects

I pour myself into you, still keep a glass of me, too

I get away with it, I get away with it

They'll be talking 'bout me after I die

[PreChorus]

I wanna tear into another love

I wanna dare myself to crash into us

Think I was scared to take more than a touch

I'm a bad, bad, loser (Yeah)

I'ma stay close to you

You don't even know me, do you?

[Chorus]

I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer

Bang-bang, gun fingers in the mirror

I won't get caught this time

Commit the perfect crime

I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer

Bang-bang, gun fingers in the mirror

I won't get caught this time

Commit the perfect crime

[Refrain]

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

[Bridge]

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo

I'm a bad, bad, loser, I'ma stay close to you

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

I'm a bad, bad, loser, you don't even know me, do you?

[Outro]

I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer

Bang-bang, gun fingers in the mirror

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo

I won't get caught this time

Commit the perfect crime
