Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could've chose anybody but I chose you, ooh
Help me get better, you pull me right out of the blue, oh
And daddy don't like you, but daddy and I never speak, eee
And every night when I wake up, I need you to get back to sleep, eee
[Verse 2]
Smells like roses to me
Two young lovers at sea
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
You're my bang, together we go bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
[Verse 3]
You could've chose anybody but you chose me, eee
Hiding in bed sits 'cause no one around us agrees, eee
And I feel romantic 'cause since morning, I've been acting wild, I
Shall we eat all the poison and leave all the questions behind, I
[Verse 4]
Smells like roses to me
Two young lovers at sea
Tastes so bitter, so sweet
You're my bang, together we go bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
[Verse 5]
And all the chemicals and alcohol make for a volatile love
But stay with me, just stay with me
And I never wanna lose you
But I feel that this closeness will tear us apart
But stay with me, stay with me
(Bang, bang, bang)
(Bang, bang, bang)
(Bang, bang, bang)
(Bang, bang, bang)
[Verse 6]
Smells like roses to me
Two young lovers at sea
Tastes so bitter, so sweet
And we go bang, together we go bang, bang, bang
