Lyrics

You say "Take it now"
And I tried to take it then
But you wouldn't give me anything
And I'm alone again

You said "Just kisses"
And I tried to kiss your breast
You wouldn't give me anything
And I'm alone again

I'm on fire, you're a liar
You look like a slut
Baby, you're a liar
You don't know what you do to me
When you touch and then let go of me

You ask me if I'm scared
The truth is you're scared
I told you before
I like to be nervous

Yeah, I'm on fire, you're a liar
You look like a slut
Baby, you're a liar
You don't know what you do to me
When you touch and then let go of me
