[Verse 1]
You got me blushin', baby, every night
The blood is rushin', baby, but that's alright
Strokin' my rosy red cheek
Makin' my knees get weak
Sippin' your drink, sayin' with a wink, "The origin of the world is pink"
[Chorus]
I want you to hold me
Please don't leave me lonely
Want you and you only
All to myself
I want you to hold me
Please don't leave me lonely
Want you and you only
There's not anybody else
[Verse 2]
You got me blushin', baby, even in my sleep
No, there's no runnin', baby, when he's in your dreams
I'm eternally seventeen, when he's lookin' at mе
You know you're fucked when hе's writing in the front of the books you're pretending to read
[Chorus]
I want you to hold me
Please don't leave me lonely
Want you and you only
All to myself
I want you to hold me
Please don't leave me lonely
Want you and you only
There's not anybody else
[Bridge]
I just got off my shift
Your favourite fired waitress
With the pigtails and the biggest tips
Milk teeth and arsenic lips
Rode this carousel pony like a rodeo queen
Lace, and, leather, and skin
There's no leaving this city
It's a movable feast
I can't get off the Ferris wheel
When the circus is in me
And the band's kicking off
We'll be big in Japan
But it's just me and you in McDonald's, and you're holding my hand
In the Jacaranda basement, he's pulling me in
Oh, at every holy altar, I was dreaming of sin
But in this cruel and cunning world
I'm just lipstick and pearls
I'm just a blushin' girl
[Chorus]
I want you to hold me
Please don't leave me lonely
Want you and you only, all to myself
I want you to hold me
Please don't leave me lonely
Want you and you only
[Outro]
You got me blushin'
You got me blushin', baby
