[Intro — whispered female vocals, dark atmosphere, sparse bass pulse] (Yeah...) You thought you knew what you wanted... (You really don't...) Look again. [Verse 1 — FAST RAP, confident, seductive, sharp rhythm] I walk in, whole room change temperature Eyes locked, now you're losing your composure Lip gloss, black dress, little bit of danger Smile sweet, but I ain't nobody's savior You like trouble, I can see it in your face One taste and you're begging for another little taste I don't chase, baby, I make 'em come around Drop one line and watch the whole place shut down I got a heart with a crack in the middle Got a mind full of games and a hand full of riddles You can try to solve me, but you'll never get close I'm the kind of little secret everybody knows (Too late...) You already crossed that line (Oh, you like that?) Baby, don't pretend you're fine [Pre-Chorus — slower, sultry, rising tension] I told you once, don't play with fire You looked at me and called me a liar Now you're standing here wanting more Like you never heard that warning before [Chorus — DEEP, EMOTIONAL, SEDUCTIVE, BIG MELODY] I'm your pretty little problem The one you can't leave alone You know I'm bad for you, baby Still you keep coming home I'm the kiss you shouldn't remember The thought that keeps you awake You can call me your worst mistake But you love the trouble I make (Pretty little problem...) (Yeah, that's me...) You know exactly what you're getting When you come looking for me [Verse 2 — FAST RAP, more aggressive, swaggering] Don't confuse my sweetness for surrender I remember every promise you pretended You want soft? I can give you something tender Want war? Baby, I can make it last forever I'm not jealous, I'm selective Not obsessed, just highly effective You want attention? Better bring protection 'Cause I turn temptation into resurrection One look, two drinks, three lies Four walls, five minutes, six different alibis You say I'm dangerous—I say you're fascinated Funny how the warning label never stopped you from tasting I don't need your money I don't need your name I don't need forever I just need you to play my game (Keep looking...) (You know you want to...) Come a little closer Let me show you what I do [Pre-Chorus — restrained, sensual, vocal echo] I told you once, don't play with fire You looked at me and called me a liar Now you're standing here wanting more Like you never heard that warning before [Chorus — DEEP, HUGE, layered female vocals] I'm your pretty little problem The one you can't leave alone You know I'm bad for you, baby Still you keep coming home I'm the kiss you shouldn't remember The thought that keeps you awake You can call me your worst mistake But you love the trouble I make (Pretty little problem...) (That's right...) You knew the risk when you came closer Now you can't walk away [Bridge — BEAT DROPS OUT, intimate low vocals, echo] Maybe I'm poison Maybe you're addicted Maybe we both know Exactly what we're doing You call me trouble I call it temptation You call it dangerous I call it liberation (Shhh...) Don't fight it. [Breakdown — whispered vocals → distorted beat explosion] Pretty... Little... Problem... You wanted the fire You wanted the flame You knew my name You came anyway [Final Chorus — HUGE, HEAVY, emotional + seductive, layered harmonies] I'm your pretty little problem The one you can't leave alone You know I'm bad for you, baby Still you keep coming home I'm the kiss you shouldn't remember The thought that keeps you awake You can call me your worst mistake But you love the trouble I make I'm your pretty little problem And you knew it from the start You can run from my body But you can't outrun your heart (Pretty little problem...) (That's me...) Your favorite little mistake You just can't leave [Outro — beat fades, whispered] Pretty little problem... (See you next time...)
