Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you, nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
Watch me do my dance for you,
I want you, nothing you can do,
Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!

Come to my world, child of the night,
Come out of your darkness and into my light,
Looking for you all of your life,
Don't be afraid, it'll be all right

God grant you serenity,
You bring out the best in me,
Let my love take you higher,
Guess what, I'm a vampire!

Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you, nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
Watch me do my dance for you,
I want you, nothing you can do,
Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!

In your head you always hear me
Close your eyes, I'm all that you see,
For lust, for life, my intimate fire,
Nightly dances, dance in desire

God grant you serenity,
You bring out the best in me,
Let my love take you higher,
Guess what, I'm a vampire!

Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you, nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
Watch me do my dance for you,
I want you, nothing you can do,
Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,

(Let's be together, don't be afraid, you called me
I was what you wished for, you held me here beside you
I was what you wished for, I came for you, I came for you
I was what you wished for, you taste like honeydew
Be careful what you wish for, I wished for you your whole life
Be careful what you wish for, let me be you tonight, tonight)

Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you, nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
Watch me do my dance for you,
I want you, nothing you can do,

Baby get ready, I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!

Overall Meaning

The song "Vampire" by Bif Naked is an upbeat love song with a darker twist. It speaks of a vampire who is coming for the listener, wanting them and seducing them. The vampire is shown as irresistible, with a line that says "I want you, nothing you can do" and is portrayed as dancing and performing for the listener. The vampire seems to be offering the listener a chance to escape their darkness and come into the light, with the line "come out of your darkness and into my light". The overall tone of the song is both dark and seductive.

One interpretation of the song could be that it is a metaphor for a dangerous, potentially addictive relationship. The vampire is seen as someone who draws the listener in with their irresistible charm and seduction, but who could end up harming them in the end. However, the listener seems to be willing to take the risk, as they are portrayed as wanting the vampire just as much as the vampire wants them. The song also touches on themes of darkness and light, with the vampire representing the darkness and the listener being offered the chance to come into the light.
