[Intro - lonely tremolo guitar, slow blues swagger, smoky intimate male vocals] (Ooh...) (Ooh, oh no...) [Verse 1 - captivated, playful tension] She caught me staring Didn't look away Just smiled like she knew I was hers to take Streetlights shining gold On her pale white skin I knew I should've left But I leaned right in (Mmm...) She moved a little closer Close enough to burn The kind of woman You don't ever learn [Pre-Chorus - heartbeat rising] She said my name Soft and low Gods help me I wanted to go [Chorus - seductive, dangerous, memorable hook] Blood on her lips Trouble in her eyes She pulled me in so slowly I didn't even try (Ooh...) Blood on her lips Heaven in her grin I knew exactly what she was And I still followed her in [Verse 2 - surrendering to temptation] She tasted like marigolds And a storm rolling through The whole damn world disappeared When she looked at you Leaves dancing around her Like they knew her name And every bad decision Started sounding the same (Mmm...) She laughed against my throat And I felt it in my bones The kind of lonely That don't like sleeping alone [Pre-Chorus - breathless] Every warning bell was ringing I let them ring [Chorus - bigger, more desperate] Blood on her lips Trouble in her eyes She pulled me in so slowly I didn't even try (Ooh...) Blood on her lips Heaven in her grin I knew exactly what she was And I still followed her in [Guitar Solo - crying guitar, sensual and haunted] (Ooh...) (Mmm...) [Bridge - stripped back, realization hitting] Blood on her lips Your name in my head I spent all night chasing her And woke up wanting you instead (Ooh...) [Final Chorus - tragic release, trying to justify himself] Blood on her lips Still under my skin I'd tell myself I'd learned my lesson But I'd do it all again (Ooh...) Blood on her lips Trouble in her eyes And all the magic in the world Can't tell me why [Outro - lonely, haunted, fading] Blood on her lips Blood on her lips (Ooh...) Blood on her lips
