​[Verse 1] I may be nice But I need you to know There’s a switch in my mind You don’t wanna throw ​I play it sweet Till you step out of line You keep pushing that edge You’ll fall every time ​[Pre-Chorus] I smile when I’m plotting (mm) Sugar on my tongue You’re dancing on a landmine Thinking this is fun ​[Chorus] I may be nice But I need you to know I have a dark side I don’t like to show If I don’t get my way I’ll start a fight So give me what I want What I want tonight What I want tonight What I want tonight So give me what I want What I want tonight ​[Verse 2] I draw the line Then I cross it again You say “that’s not fair” I just call it a win ​You call me soft Till I sharpen my tone I can turn this whole room To a warzone alone ​[Pre-Chorus] You think that you can tame me Talk me down with charm But I’m already choosing Where you’ll wear these scars ​[Chorus] I may be nice But I need you to know I have a dark side I don’t like to show If I don’t get my way I’ll start a fight So give me what I want What I want tonight What I want tonight What I want tonight So give me what I want What I want tonight ​[Bridge] I gave you a warning, I gave you a sign But you treat my patience like a crime The nice girl is sleeping, the monster’s awake How much of me do you think you can take? Do you think you can take? DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE? ​[Guitar Solo] ​[Chorus] I may be nice But I need you to know I have a dark side I don’t like to show If I don’t get my way I’ll start a fight So give me what I want What I want tonight What I want tonight What I want tonight So give me what I want What I want tonight ​[Outro] Yeah, give me what I want... Or you’ll see the switch go. I may be nice... (Spoken) But probably not.
