Love is cute Let’s go lower Mm, much lower You bring the flowers, I bring the grin You bring the guilt, I let it in You want romance with polished shoes I want the path good manners lose Don’t look so pure, I know that face You found the door beneath the lace The kind of want you try to hide But hum along to when I slide You say it’s wrong, you say it’s sweet Still step closer to the beat Your little halo starts to tilt When the bassline kisses guilt No candle flame, no pretty vow Just velvet pressure pulling down I watch your manners come undone Slow enough to call it fun Say please Say wrong Say you knew it all along Say low Say true Say I look good keeping you Lower than love Deeper than shame I pretend I don’t care Then remember your name Lower than love Under the rules Dirty little paradise Made for beautiful fools Lower than love Where the soft lies end I don’t call it romance But I keep what I bend Lower than love After the song is through That’s the way that I love When I’m done with you Down, down Lower, slower Down, down Closer, warmer I don’t need roses to behave I want the gasp you almost gave That little crack in your control That note that crawls below the soul You call it rude, I call it art A wicked route into the heart The crowd can judge, the lights can stare You came because you wanted there I like the blush you try to kill The way you shake and call it will You dress desire up in lace I drag it laughing out of place No sermon saves you from the sound No saint stays holy going down You swear you came to prove me wrong Then breathe my rhythm all night long Say please Say wrong Say you knew it all along Say low Say true Say the shame looks good on you Lower than love Deeper than shame I pretend I don’t care Then remember your name Lower than love Under the rules Dirty little paradise Made for beautiful fools Lower than love Where the soft lies end I don’t call it romance But I keep what I bend Lower than love After the song is through That’s the way that I love When I’m done with you Still pretending? Still so precious? Mm, adorable Come lower There is a sweetness in the low A secret only bodies know The place where all your pretty lies Lose their perfume, lose their ties So let me laugh, let me offend Let every decent thought descend I am not clean, I am not tame But I remember every name I make a joke, I roll my eyes I let the rumor call me ice But when the stage goes black and bare I still know who vanished where Not in a poem, not above Not in the shape they sell as love Lower, hidden, warm, and mine Kept beneath the final line Down Down Lower Slower Down Down Closer Warmer Lower than love Deeper than shame I pretend I don’t care Then remember your name Lower than love Under the rules Dirty little paradise Made for beautiful fools Lower than love Where the soft lies end I don’t call it romance But I keep what I bend Lower than love After the song is through That’s the way that I love When I’m done with you Down, down Lower, slower Down, down Closer, warmer Say please Say wrong Say you wanted this all along See? Romance survived Barely But I kept you
