I think I must have met him yesterday He waltzed in from the outskirts of east L.A Seems to be the name on everybody's lips So I told myself I wouldn't fall for it But then Quicker than a flash, he had me at hello He took me by the hand, we started dancing slow Didn't wanna get attached but now, I'm far too close And he knows just what he's doing I didn't know, when I met Valentino I was giving him control over me Now I'm stuck in his melody Let me go, let me go Valentino You're not getting anymore out of me I don't want your cruel melody He knew what to say to sweep me off my feet (Ah) I should've never heard a word he said to me I was comfortable with ignorance is bliss (Ah) 'Cause I told myself I wouldn't fall for it (Fall for it) But then Quicker than a flash, he had me at hello He took me by the hand, we started dancing slow Didn't wanna get attached but now, I'm far too close And he knows just what he's doing I didn't know I didn't know when I met Valentino I was giving him control over me Now I'm stuck in his melody Let me go, let me go Valentino You're not getting anymore out of me I don't want your cruel melody (Don't want it, oh) I don't want your cruel melody, oh, no Oh no, no, ooh yeah (Don't want it) Ooh, oh, oh (Don't want it) Yeah, yeah I should have known not to trust Valentino I should have known not to trust Valentino Tonight I'm saying goodbye Valentino We know just what you're doing I didn't know when I met Valentino I was giving him control over me Now I'm stuck in his melody Let me go, let me go Valentino (Let me go Valentino) You're not getting anymore out of me I don't want your cruel melody (I don't want) I should have known not to trust Valentino I should have known not to trust Valentino Go, let me go Valentino You're not getting anymore out of me I don't want your cruel melody
