Villain
Cutts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or it could be the end
And I could be a villain
Or I could be a friend
See the writing on the wall
Painting pictures on the floor
I′ll be better than before oh
Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
Love you but I don't like loving you
Love you but I don't like loving you baby
Love you but I don′t like
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
It was good at the beginning
Even better at the end
We were never really lovers
We were never really friends
Ya look a little like the next thing on my list
Look a little like the next thing I won′t miss
Baby I don't really owe you
But I will tell you the truth
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
You knew it only made me want you more
So you left me on the kitchen floor
I was acting like an animal
Scratching at your bedroom door
Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
Love you but I don't like loving you
Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
Love you but I don't like
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
I know it only made you want it more
Had ya scratching at my bedroom door
I was acting like a criminal
I know it only made you want it more ah
Look a little like the next girl on my list
Look a little like the next girl I won′t miss
I already told you
I ain't got nothing to loose
Eh eh Im a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain

It could be like the beginning
The situation has potential for a positive start
Or it could be the end
Things could either turn out well or come to a disappointing conclusion
And I could be a villain
I am aware that I could be perceived as a wrongdoer
Or I could be a friend
I acknowledge the possibility of being a loyal companion
See the writing on the wall
I can anticipate the outcome of the situation
Painting pictures on the floor
I am creating a vision for the future
I'll be better than before oh
I am determined to improve upon my previous actions
Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
I have conflicting emotions towards you
Eh eh I'm a villain
I am aware that my actions may be perceived as immoral
It was good at the beginning
Things started off positively
Even better at the end
The outcome exceeded expectations
We were never really lovers
Our relationship was not based on love
We were never really friends
Our relationship was not based on friendship either
Ya look a little like the next thing on my list
You appear to fit the criteria of someone I may pursue next
Look a little like the next thing I won′t miss
You also appear to fit the criteria of someone I may not regret losing
Baby I don't really owe you
I am not obligated to you
But I will tell you the truth
I am willing to be honest with you
You knew it only made me want you more
You were aware that your actions would increase my desire for you
So you left me on the kitchen floor
You purposely caused me emotional distress
I was acting like an animal
My behavior was irrational and uncontrolled
Scratching at your bedroom door
I was desperate to be close to you
I know it only made you want it more
I am aware that my behavior increased your desire for me
Had ya scratching at my bedroom door
You too were desperate to be close to me
I was acting like a criminal
My behavior was reckless and possibly illegal
Look a little like the next girl on my list
You resemble other girls I may be interested in pursuing
I already told you
I have already been honest with you
I ain't got nothing to lose
I have nothing to gain or lose from pursuing you
