More Than You Bargained For

V6

[INTRO β€” whispered, playful, almost laughing] Oh, sweetheart... You really have no idea, do you? (Low, wicked chuckle) Well... This oughta be fun. [VERSE 1 β€” smoky, rhythmic, teasing] You walked in like you owned the place That hungry little grin across your face Talking big with your whiskey breath Like you ain't ever been told no yet You like your women sweet and tame Pretty little things you can rearrange Well, baby, I ain't built that way But go ahead, you've got my attention anyway [PRE-CHORUS β€” building, increasingly amused] You want a little danger? You want a little thrill? You think you know what trouble is? (Whisper) Oh, honey... you will. [CHORUS β€” HUGE, aggressive, melodic] I'M MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR! MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE! YOU CAME LOOKING FOR A LITTLE HEAT NOW YOU'RE STANDING IN A SCANDAL! I DON'T BEND! I DON'T BREAK! I DON'T GIVE MORE THAN I TAKE! YOU WANTED SOMETHING WILD, BOY? WELL, HERE'S YOUR WARNING! I'M MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR! [POST-CHORUS β€” stomping, gang-vocal accents] More! (More than you wanted!) More! (More than you need!) More! (Nyx laughs) You ain't seen a damn thing! [VERSE 2 β€” confident, sarcastic] You said you like a girl with claws Until you learned I make the laws You wanted fire without the burn Guess that's a lesson you had to learn Now you're stumbling over every word Trying to take back what I heard Don't get nervous, don't get shy You were so damn brave a minute ago, right? [PRE-CHORUS β€” sly, building] You wanted something wicked Something you couldn't ignore Well, congratulations, darling... (Low growl) You just opened the door. [CHORUS β€” explosive] I'M MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR! MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE! YOU CAME LOOKING FOR A LITTLE HEAT NOW YOU'RE STANDING IN A SCANDAL! I DON'T BEND! I DON'T BREAK! I DON'T GIVE MORE THAN I TAKE! YOU WANTED SOMETHING WILD, BOY? WELL, HERE'S YOUR WARNING! I'M MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR! [BREAKDOWN β€” guitars drop out, filthy distorted bass] (Spoken, mocking) What's wrong, baby? You were doing so well. All that confidence... All those promises... (Laughs) And now look at you. [HEAVY HALF-TIME RIFF] You wanted the witch! YOU GOT THE SPELL! You wanted heaven! I BROUGHT YOU HELL! You wanted control! YOU LOST YOUR GRIP! (Sudden silence) Aww... Did I scare you? [INSTRUMENTAL β€” 32-count grinding guitar solo, rising into a screaming sustained lead] [FINAL CHORUS β€” full power, soaring rasp] I'M MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR! MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE! YOU CAME LOOKING FOR A LITTLE HEAT NOW YOU'RE STANDING IN A SCANDAL! I DON'T BEND! I DON'T BREAK! I DON'T GIVE MORE THAN I TAKE! YOU WANTED SOMETHING WILD, BOY? (Extended scream) WELL, YOU GOT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR! [OUTRO β€” instruments cut to a low, pulsing bass] (Breathy, amused) You know what's funny? I actually liked you. (Soft chuckle) Until you opened your mouth. [FINAL GUITAR HIT]
