Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
Dim the lights, let me tell you about a story
I gave all of myself to someone
Turns out they were selfish, and we went out with a bang
Terrified, I made a promise to myself that
I'd never let somebody hold me down
And choke me out, and walk all over me again
I switched my energy
Got no sympathy
You should beware
You should be scared of me
I got a chip on my shoulder
Break you down and puck you over, baby
Red, red rover
Nah, it ain't fun if I ain't sinning
I'm not like those other women, no
I don't gotta be the hero, don't you know?
Don't you know that I'm the villain?
Listen close, every bad guy's got their reason
Turned me to a criminal all cynical
But I don't want it any other way
Queue the smoke
It's so much better on the darker side
'Cause I don't get hurt no more, I got
Cutthroat energy
Got no sympathy
You should beware
You should be scared of me
I got a chip on my shoulder
Break you down and puck you over, baby
Red, red rover
Nah, it ain't fun if I ain't sinning
I'm not like those other women, no
I don't gotta be the hero, don't you know
Don't you know that I'm the villain
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I don't gotta be the hero, don't you know?
Don't you know that I'm the villain?
