lyrics

I've been having trouble lately,
Finding words to put into song.
Seems I've got no inspiration,
Feels like nothing's going on
Worth mentioning.
But I've finally worked out what I need to do,
And the only one to help me is you

I need a bad relationship.
So if you're up for being a prick
Then squeeze me slow and kiss me quick,
Then break my heart.
That's all I ask of you.

Please be debonair and charming,
Irresistible from the start.
Make me laugh and bring me flowers,
Do your best to win my heart,
That's the easy part.
But when we get a few months down the line
Then's your time to shine

Because I need that bad relationship,
So if you're up for being a prick
Then squeeze me slow and kiss me quick,
Then break my heart.
That's all I ask of you.

So please get your thinking cap on,
I really need you to be bad.
I'm not looking for a stab wound,
Though that would really make me quite sad,
I'm more about emotional scars.
But you say to me you're not that kind of guy,
It would pain you just to see me cry,
Let alone be in a bad relationship.
You're just not cut out for being a prick,
And when you squeeze me slow and kiss me quick
It melts my heart.
And that's songwriting gold too!
