  But I’m addicted now, and there’s no changing that.

  I just may be bad for you, but this lesson you’re gonna learn.

  Bridge

  Good girls should stay away from the dark corners.

  Temptation will always lurk within the turn.

  Keeping you pure may be the only thing that redeems me.

  But I never asked not to burn.

  She’s to Blame

  Verse 1

  Just another night, baby, and you’re just another girl.

  I don’t do mornings and I never will.

  You wanted a taste and I wanted a distraction.

  Don’t go begging for more because I like the chase, not the kill.

  Pre-Chorus

  It wasn’t all-consuming, girl—you gave it too easily.

  You know what you got into, but you still begged me.

  Don’t leave your phone number—I’m not gonna call.

  Say it, baby. Scream it all you want. I’ve heard it all.

  Chorus

  They all want to save me. They all want to own me.

  But I’ve been owned before. That ship has sailed.

  She took my soul a long time ago when she walked out that door.

  So don’t think you’re gonna win me.

  I’m not a prize and you won’t score.

  Nothing left inside to gain. I’m empty there, and she’s to blame.

  Verse 2

  I’ve broken hearts and left them in a trail behind me. But they only had me one night.

  She owned my heart for years, then took it with her in her flight.

  I liked the escape you give me, and I’ll take it without remorse.

  I don’t even care if you fake it. I’m using you more, no reason for force.

  Pre-Chorus

  It wasn’t all-consuming, girl—you gave it too easily.

  You know what you got into, but you still begged me.

  Walking away is my favorite part because I know I didn’t lose my heart.

  You want more than I can give. Someday you might see.

  Chorus

  They all want to save me. They all want to own me.

  But I’ve been owned before. That ship has sailed.

  She took my soul a long time ago when she walked out that door.

  So don’t think you’re gonna win me.

  I’m not a prize and you won’t score.

  Nothing left inside to gain. I’m empty there, and she’s to blame.

  Bridge

  Walk away now if you want to keep your innocence.

  Run like hell girl if you’re not ready for me.

  Everybody is the same and no matter how sweet you look . . .

  There will always be only one face I see.

  You’ve been warned and that’s all I can do.

  Let’s forget the talking and the wasting of my time.

  This is all about me, babe. I’m not worried about you.

  Just another night, babe and you’re just another girl.

  Chorus

  They all want to save me. They all want to own me.

  But I’ve been owned before. That ship has sailed.

  She took my soul a long time ago when she walked out that door.

  So don’t think you’re gonna win me.

  I’m not a prize and you won’t score.

  Nothing left inside to gain. I’m empty there, and she’s to blame.
