Any Other Way

My baby’s got that bad boy vibe
Inked up, leather jacket, motorcycle type
Kinda guy who’s been in a few too many bar fights
Kinda guy I hate to like
See, him and I, we’re both so damn hard-headed
Drunken disagreements, we really go at it
But nothing can compare to his hands on my body
‘Cept when I’m riding on the back of his Ducati
When it’s good, it’s cloud 9, but this love’s volatile
Always fighting like hell, but that loving’s worthwhile
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But he looks so damn good when he does it
Oo, I want him all of time time
But he knows just how to push my buttons
I love him best when his hand’s round my neck
He knows just how I want it
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
My baby’s got them bedroom eyes
Can’t keep my clothes on unless we leave for the night
So we hit a little dive bar and knock a few back
Try to keep our cool but the odds are stacked
Cause I’ve been sipping whiskey sours, he keeps it old fashioned
We’re screaming at each other cause we’re loaded with passion
All this fighting’s got me wondering when we’ll break up next
But every argument’s worth that makeup sex
When it’s good, it’s cloud 9, but this love’s volatile
Always fighting like hell, but that loving’s worthwhile
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But he looks so damn good when he does it
Oo, I want him all of time time
But he knows just how to push my buttons
I love him best when his hand’s round my neck
He knows just how I want it
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
I know we’re unstable, and if it stays like this we won’t survive
But it’s been so long since anything made me feel alive
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But he looks so damn good when he does it
Oo, I want him all of time time
But he knows just how to push my buttons
I love him best when his hand’s round my neck
He knows just how I want it
We’re such a mess and I’m fucking obsessed
He makes me so mad but I love it
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
Oo, he drives me out of my mind
But I wouldn’t have it any other way

You been on, you been on my mind
All damn night
I’m too burnt out to deny
That I need you in my life
And I’ve tried to break myself away from us
But it’s time to face the fact that baby, this just ain’t done
So don’t tell me why we won’t work out
Don’t tell me that it’s too late now
I’m done running away
So what’re we waiting for? This love ain’t going away
You think you’re such a saint
For giving me space
But that’s not your call to make
And I’m not yours to save
And I know the million reasons to stay apart
But not one of those reasons could still my heart
So don’t tell me why we won’t work out
Don’t tell me that it’s too late now
I’m done running away
Don’t tell me that we should slow down
Don’t tell me there’s too much to talk about
I know you feel the same
So what’re we waiting for?
Let’s dive, dive in
Let’s dive, dive in
Don't tell me why we won't work out
(Let’s dive, dive in)
Don't tell me that it's too late now
(Let’s dive, dive in)
And I’m begging you to stop wasting my time, cause baby I’m yours
Don’t tell me why we won’t work out
Don’t tell me that it’s too late now
I’m done running away
Don’t tell me that we should slow down
Don’t tell me there’s too much to talk about
I know you feel the same
So what’re we waiting for? This love ain’t going away

Father's Daughter

I saw him from above
Watched him as he walked out
Stole everything that mama dreamed of
He didn't dare to turn around
He moved on without hesitation
His pattern stayed the same
Driven by his own motivation
No matter who's at stake
I told myself I'd never get here, but I am my father's daughter
He stares back at me in the mirror, for I am my father's daughter
Ooh, I am my father's daughter
Ooh, I am my father's daughter
As I judged who I thought I'd never be
I was blind to becoming my scars
Rotten apples land close to the tree
I hear mama cry with everyone I harm
I told myself I'd never get here, but I am my father's daughter
He stares back at me in the mirror, for I am my father's daughter
Ooh, I am my father's daughter
Ooh, I am my father's daughter
Please don't tell mama
She'll never see me the same
Please don't tell mama
She'll have someone to blame
I told myself I'd never get here, but I am my father's daughter
He stares back at me in the mirror, for I am my father's daughter
Ooh, I am my father's daughter
Ooh, I am my father's daughter

Masochist

I can’t remember the last time
I cared enough to get hurt
I’ve gone through the motions, given tries
But everyone always falls short
Cause I got these cravings I can’t kick
I need a love that’s toxic
I know it’s no good for me, but I’m fiending for a fix
I just need to feel something
Oh I’m just a junkie for the pain
Maybe I’m a masochist
Love ain’t no fun if it ain’t up in flames
Break my heart just for the thrill of it
I said break my heart just for the thrill of it
Oh, I’m a masochist
It starts off so fun, I just wanna fuck around
But they fall in love, and I spit them out
But that’s not my intention, I don’t want to cause hurt
That’s why I’m begging for someone to do it to me first
Oh I’m just a junkie for the pain
Maybe I’m a masochist
Love ain’t no fun if it ain’t up in flames
Break my heart just for the thrill of it
I said break my heart just for the thrill of it
Oh, I’m a masochist
I can’t do this anymore
The high ain’t worth the strain
But it’s what I think I deserve
I’d give anything to change
Oh I’m just a junkie for the pain
Maybe I’m a masochist
Love ain’t no fun if it ain’t up in flames
Break my heart just for the thrill of it
I said break my heart just for the thrill of it
Oh I’m just a junkie for the pain
Maybe I’m a masochist
Love ain’t no fun if it ain’t up in flames
Break my heart, break my heart
Break my heart just for the thrill of it
Oh, I’m a masochist

Pretend Love

Feelin' kinda lonely today
I was thinking it’d be nice to see your face
Besides, I miss you
And I know it's not all that serious
But when the whiskey hits, who can tell the difference?
Let’s play pretend love
Come spend the night, let’s get too drunk
I’ll get high on the white lies you say to me
And the sound of you calling me baby
Let’s play pretend love
Who cares if it’s not real, it's close enough
Let’s throw ourselves into the fantasy
Give in to the feelings we make believe
As long as you’re calling me baby
You know I love it when you look in my eyes
And we stay up hanging out all night
But if it don’t last that’s alright
Just play along for for tonight
And I hope it doesn't get too serious
But when the whiskey hits, I can feel the difference
Let’s play pretend love
Come spend the night, let’s get too drunk
I’ll get high on the white lies you say to me
And the sound of you calling me baby
Let’s play pretend love
Who cares if it’s not real, it's close enough
Let’s throw ourselves into the fantasy
Give in to the feelings we make believe
As long as you’re calling me baby
If you wake up and you wanna go I won’t mind
But reality’s hard enough, ain’t it nice to escape sometimes?
Let’s play pretend love
Come spend the night, let’s get too drunk
I’ll get high on the white lies you say to me
And the sound of you calling me baby
Let’s play pretend love
Who cares if it’s not real, it's close enough
Let’s throw ourselves into the fantasy
Give in to the feelings we make believe
As long as you’re calling me baby
