[Verse 1] One, take control of me? You're messing with the enemy Said it's two, it's another trick Messing with my mind, I wake up Chase down an empty street Blindly snap the broken beats Said it's gone, with the dirty trick It's taken all these days to find ya
[Chorus] Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I tell you, I want you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I tell you, I need you
[Verse 2] Friends, take control of me Stalking cross the gallery All these pills got to operate The colour quits and all invade us There it goes again Take me to the edge again All I got, is a dirty trick I'm chasing down all wolves to save ya
[Chorus] Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I tell you, I want you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I'll tell you, I need you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha The blood ain't on my face Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Just wanted you near me
[Chorus] Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I tell you, I want you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I'll tell you, I need you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha The blood ain't on my hands Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Just wanted you near me
[Outro] Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I tell you, I want you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha I'll tell you, I need you Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha The blood ain't on my hands Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha Just wanted you near me
[Instrumental Outro]
