Lyrics
You’ve caught my eye once again
You seem to draw attention
It’s dangerous to play with someone you’ve never met before
You look brand new I want more
I’ll make you feel good
I’ll make you feel nice
I’ll give you something real
Just for one night
Slowly let me in
You’re falling too fast
It’s no fun if they don’t last
Don’t get confused
I just wanna use you
Come on let’s go and play
All through the night
Until the bright sun tells me that it’s time
I’ll possess you
Its more if obsession than love
Don’t you feel drawn to me
Don’t you find me so appealing
Let’s make a bet swear you’ll lose
Can’t you already feel time slowing down
It’s just you and me from now on
Don’t get confused
I just wanna use you
Come on let’s go and play
All through the night
Until the bright sun tells me that it’s time
I’ll possess you
I’ll possess you
Your back is turned and your eyes closed
It seems like you lose
Don’t get confused
I just wanna use you
Come on let’s go and play all through the night until the bright sun tells me that it’s time
I’ll possess you
I’ll possess you
