Contaminated
Banks Lyrics

You wanna get to know me
You are interested in getting to know me and establishing a connection.

You memorized the lines of my thighs
You have a sexual interest in me and have focused on specific parts of my body.

I knew before you told me you'd get it right
I could tell that you were confident in your ability to please me before you even mentioned it.

And you took the dark for granted
You assumed that you could hide your true intentions in the shadows without being caught.

And you love me like you promised your wife
You have promised to love me, but you are already committed to someone else.

It's almost like you planned it in the daylight
Your actions seem to have been well thought out and premeditated.

(Ooh, I can attain it)
I feel like I can achieve what I want from this relationship.

(Ooh, I can attain it)
I feel like I can achieve what I want from this relationship.

(Ooh, I can attain it)
I feel like I can achieve what I want from this relationship.

I like the way you say it
I appreciate your approach and the things you say to me.

Tell me the words you told me that day
Remind me of the things you said to me in the past that made me feel good.

Maybe if I could believe it I could just stay
If I believed that our relationship could work, I would be more willing to commit to it.

'Cause I like the way you do it
I enjoy the way you approach our relationship and the things you do for me.

Yeah, I like the way you move it baby show me the way
I appreciate the effort you put into our relationship and I want to learn from you.

I like the way you get it on the freeway
I like the way you take risks and act confident in our relationship.

And I wish I could change it
I know that our relationship is flawed and I wish I could fix it.

And we're always gonna be contaminated
Our relationship will always have faults and issues.

And oh, I know what we need
I have an idea of what we need to do to fix our relationship.

You start letting me go
You need to let me go and give me space within our relationship.

Our love is tainted
Our love has been poisoned by the issues in our relationship.

You said they'd be against us
You warned me that others may not approve of our relationship.

I say, "You care too much what they say"
I believe that your concern over others' opinions of our relationship is excessive.

You said, "Do me a favor, give me some faith"
You requested that I have more faith in our relationship.

'Cause you promised me you'd do it
You made a promise to me that you would work to make our relationship better.

You said, "Baby, let me prove it, look at me in the face
You asked for a chance to prove yourself and improve our relationship.

This is the face of someone who loves you, babe"
You are trying to convince me that you love me and are committed to our relationship.

And I wish I could change it
I know that our relationship is flawed and I wish I could fix it.

And we're always gonna be contaminated
Our relationship will always have faults and issues.

And oh, I know what we need
I have an idea of what we need to do to fix our relationship.

You start letting me go
You need to let me go and give me space within our relationship.

Our love is tainted
Our love has been poisoned by the issues in our relationship.

(You start letting me go)
You need to give me space and allow me to move on from our relationship.

(You start letting me go)
You need to give me space and allow me to move on from our relationship.

(Stay)
I want to stay in our relationship but I know I need space to work on it.

(You start letting me go)
You need to give me space and allow me to move on from our relationship.

(You start letting me go)
You need to give me space and allow me to move on from our relationship.

(Stay)
I want to stay in our relationship but I know I need space to work on it.

And I wish I could change it
I know that our relationship is flawed and I wish I could fix it.

And we're always gonna be contaminated
Our relationship will always have faults and issues.

And oh, I know what we need
I have an idea of what we need to do to fix our relationship.

You start letting me go
You need to let me go and give me space within our relationship.

('Cause our love is tainted)
The issues in our relationship have made our love flawed.

(Ooh, I can attain it)
Despite the issues in our relationship, I still feel like I can achieve what I want from it.

(Ooh, I can attain it)
Despite the issues in our relationship, I still feel like I can achieve what I want from it.

(Ooh, I can attain it)
Despite the issues in our relationship, I still feel like I can achieve what I want from it.
