Love grows in me like a tumor Parasite bent on devouring its host I'm developing my sense of humor Till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth Till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet Skillet on the stove It's such a temptation Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt What the f*ck was I thinking? Love plows through me like a dozer I've got more give than a bale of hay And there's always a big mess left over With the "What did you do?" And the "What did you say?" "What did you do?" and the "What did you say?" Skillet on the stove It's such a temptation Maybe I'll be the special one that doesn't get burnt What the f*ck was I thinking? What the f*ck was I thinking? What the f*ck was I thinking? What the f*ck was I thinking? Love tears me up like a demon Opens the wounds, then fills them with lead And I'm having some trouble just breathing If we weren't such good friends I think that I'd hate you If we weren't such good friends I'd wish you were dead Skillet on the stove It's such a temptation Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt What the f*ck was I thinking? What the f*ck was I thinking? What the f*ck was I thinking? Love is so embarrassing I'm this awkward and uncomfortable thing I'm running out of places to hide it I'm running out of places to hide it What the f*ck was I thinking? (You know that I've got what you want) What the f*ck was I thinking? (You know that I've got what you want) What the f*ck was I thinking? (You know that I've got what you want) What the f*ck was I thinking? (You know that I've got what you want)
