  • Am I out of my head?
    Am I out of my mind?
    If you only knew the bad things I like
    Don't think that I can explain it
    What can I say? It's complicated
    Don't matter what you say
    Don't matter what you do
    I only wanna do bad things to you
    So good (so good), that you can't explain it
    What can I say? It's complicated (ayy)

    Nothing's that bad (that bad)
    If it feels good (feels good)
    So you come back (come back)
    Like I knew you would (knew you would)
    And we're both wild (both wild)
    And the night's young (night's young)
    And you're my drug
    Breathe you in 'til my face numb
    Drop it down to that bass drum
    I got what you dream 'bout
    Nails scratchin' my back tatt
    Eyes closed while you scream out
    And you keep me in with those hips
    While my teeth sink in those lips (yeah)
    While your body's giving me life
    And you suffocate in my kiss
    Then you said

    I want you forever (ayy)
    Even when we're not together (ayy)
    Scars on my body so I can take you wherever, like (ayy)
    I want you forever (ayy)
    Even when we're not together
    Scars on my body I can look at you whenever, uh (yeah)

    Am I out of my head?
    Am I out of my mind?
    If you only knew the bad things I like
    Don't think that I can explain it
    What can I say? It's complicated
    Don't matter what you say
    Don't matter what you do
    I only wanna do bad things to you
    So good, that you can't explain it
    What can I say? It's complicated (damn)

    I can't explain it (ayy ayy, can't explain it)
    I love the pain (love the pain)
    And I love the way your breath
    Numbs me like Novocaine
    And we are (ooh)
    Always high
    Keep it strange
    Okay, yeah, I'm insane
    But you the same
    Let me paint the picture, uh (yeah)
    Couch by the kitchen, ayy (yeah)
    Nothin' but your heels on
    Losin' our religion (mmh)
    You're my pretty little vixen
    And I'm the voice inside your head
    That keeps telling you to listen to all the bad things I say
    And you said

    I want you forever (ayy)
    Even when we're not together (ayy, we're not together, yeah)
    Scars on my body so I can take you wherever, like (ayy)
    I want you forever (ayy)
    Even when we're not together (oh, whoa)
    Scars on my body I can look at you whenever, uh (yeah)

    Am I out of my head?
    Am I out of my mind?
    If you only knew the bad things I like
    Don't think that I can explain it
    What can I say? It's complicated
    Don't matter what you say
    Don't matter what you do (yeah)
    I only wanna do bad things to you
    So good, that you can't explain it
    What can I say? It's complicated

    The way we love is so unique (ayy, ayy)
    And when we touch, I'm shivering
    And no one has to get it
    Just you and me (right)
    'Cause we're just living
    Between the sheets (you said)

    I want you forever (ayy)
    Even when we're not together (ayy, yeah)
    Scars on my body so I can take you wherever, like
    I want you forever (ayy)
    Even when we're not together (real talk) (oh, whoa)
    Scars on my body I can look at you whenever, uh (yeah, oh, baby)

    Am I out of my head?
    Am I out of my mind? (Am I?)
    If you only knew the bad things I like (if you only knew)
    Don't think that I can explain it (yeah)
    What can I say? It's complicated (yeah)
    Don't matter what you say
    Don't matter what you do (do, do)
    I only wanna do bad things to you (yeah)
    So good, that you can't explain it (so good, oh, baby)
    What can I say? It's complicated Writer/s: Alex Schwartz, Anthony M Scalzo, Camila Cabello, Colson Baker, Joe Khajadourian, Madison Emiko Love, Stephen Basil
