Porcelain Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you wanna wanna
I know you wanna wanna
My mind's about to slip, I wanna wanna get down
Another round, please
Gimme a microphone cause I wanna get loud, so so loud, yeah
You probably think that I am crazy lately
But I just wanna be your slave pretty baby
Down on my knees like a nun, please save me
I wanna have it, I wanna wanna have it, oh oh

You know I'm gonna gonna get you
The world's a tiny place, there's nowhere you can hide
I know you're gonna gonna love me
My guns are loaded and I got you in my sight
(Yeah yeah oh oh oh)
Swallow my bullets
(Oh oh oh oh-oh)
I know you wanna wanna
(Yeah yeah oh oh oh)
Swallow my bullets
I know you wanna wanna
I know you wanna wanna
I know you wanna wanna

Come out, come out and play

You'll be my ricochet, you're gonna hit me right back, hit me right back, yeah
And you will beg me til you're crazy, baby
And I'm just gonna tell ya maybe, maybe
Oh I just love it when you're misbehaving

You know I'm gonna gonna get you
The world's a tiny place, there's nowhere you can hide
