[Verse 1: Lorde]

Knew when I felt it hit

Stood in the park under the eclipse

It was only a field trip

'Til it cooled my blood

That's how it tends to start

You're in the light, then you're in the dark

Then someone throws a flare

You tasted my underwear

I knew we were fucked


[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]

My bed is on fire

Mama, I'm so scared

Don't know how to come back

Once I get out on the edge

He spit in my mouth like

He's sayin' a prayer

But now I'm cryin' on the phone

Swearing nothing's wrong

[Chorus: Lorde & Dexta Daps]

Blame it on

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

Current affairs (Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

Current affairs (Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

[Verse 2: Lorde & Dexta Daps]

All alone in my room

Watching the tape of their honeymoon

On the boat, it was pure and true

Then the film came out

Hope that we can ignore (Oh-oh-oh)

Voices we hear through the open door (Oh-oh-oh)

Would you dive to the ocean floor

Just to take my pearl?


[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]

'Cause my bed is on fire ('Cause my bed is on fire)

Mama, I'm so scared (Mama, I'm so scared)

Were you ever like this (Were you ever like this?)

Once you went out on the edge?

He spit in my mouth like

He's sayin' a prayer

But now I'm cryin' on the phone

Swearing nothing's wrong

[Chorus: Lorde & Dexta Daps]

Blame it on

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

Current affairs (Affairs)

But now I'm high enough to know (Affairs)

Yeah, I think he's gon' blame it on

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

Current affair-air-airs (Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)

(Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good)

Current affair-airs (Girl, your pussy good, it grip me, girl, your pussy good, it grip me good)

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
