Ha-ha-haunted The throat is deep and the mouth is wide Saw some things on the other side Made me promise to never tell But you know me, I can't help myself Now I've got something you have to see They put something inside of me The smile is red and its eyes are black I don't think I'll be coming back I don't believe it I had to see it I came back haunted I came back haunted I said goodbye but I I had to try I came back haunted C-C-C-came back haunted Everywhere now reminding me I am not who I used to be I'm afraid this has just begun Consequences for what I've done, yeah I don't believe it I had to see it I came back, I came back haunted C-C-C-came back haunted I said goodbye but I I had to try I came back, I came back haunted I C-C-C-came back haunted I don't believe it I had to see it I came back, I came back haunted C-C-C-came back haunted I said goodbye but I I had to try I came back, I came back haunted C-C-C-came back haunted They tried to tell me but I I couldn't stop myself and I I came back, I came back haunted C-C-C-came back haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop Came back ha-ha-haunted Just can't Stop
