the mouth.
“Good. Because we’re decorating cookies tonight, and that will make me smile,” I told him.
He smirked. “Icing and you and a kitchen counter. Yeah, sounds like my kind of fun.”
“The icing goes on the cookies,” I told him.
He nodded. “Sure it does. And then it goes on your nipples, and if you’re really good, between your thighs.”
The catch in my breath made him grin. “That’s what I thought. My girl likes to play.”
“Okay, we’ll play, but only if I get to put some icing on my favorite piercing.” I said.
His eyes lit up, and he tugged my hand, pulling me toward the kitchen.
“What are you doing? We have a tree to decorate,” I said, giggling as I followed him.
“No, love. We are going to get that icing and let you put it on your favorite piercing. Play first, decorate the tree later.”
“Krit,” I said, and he stopped and looked back at me.
“Yeah, sweetheart?”
“I love you.”
He towered over me, and his blue eyes smoldered as he gazed down at me. “I love you more,” he whispered against my lips, then he made me forget about decorations and cookies. I was lost in the one man who had been made just for me.
Lyrics
Bad for You
Verse 1
I’ve always had an addictive personality—
Take a little then want a little more.
Being told no isn’t okay with me.
They call it obsession, but I know it’s more.
Pre-Chorus
I know they tell you to stay away from the devil,
But, baby, come a little closer, open my door.
Chorus
They say I’m bad for you.
They say I’m wrong for the innocent, I’ll only burn you up.
But I’m addicted now, and there’s no changing that.
I just may be bad for you, but this lesson you’re gonna learn.
Verse 2
Accuse me of insanity or desire to possess.
I’ve heard it before but never like this.
I’d tell you not to fear this, but then I’d be a liar.
You lost your free will right after our first kiss.
Pre-Chorus
I know they tell you to stay away from the devil.
But, baby, come a little closer. Open my door.
Chorus
They say I’m bad for you.
They say I’m wrong for an angel, I’ll only burn you up.
But I’m addicted now, and there’s no changing that.
I just may be bad for you, but this lesson you’re gonna learn.
Bridge
Good girls should stay away from the dark corners.
Temptation will always lurk within the turn.
Keeping you pure may be the only thing that redeems me.
But I never asked not to burn.
She’s to Blame
Verse 1
Just another night, baby, and you’re just another girl.
I don’t do mornings and I never will.
You wanted a taste and I wanted a distraction.
Don’t go begging for more because I like the chase, not the kill.
Pre-Chorus
It wasn’t all-consuming, girl—you gave it too easily.
You know what you got into, but you still begged me.
Don’t leave your phone number—I’m not gonna call.
Say it, baby. Scream it all you want. I’ve heard it all.
Chorus
They all want to save me. They all want to own me.
But I’ve been owned before. That ship has sailed.
She took my soul a long time ago when she walked out that door.
So don’t think you’re gonna win me.
I’m not a prize and you won’t score.
Nothing left inside to gain. I’m empty there, and she’s to blame.
Verse 2
I’ve broken hearts and left them in a trail behind me. But they only had me one night.
She owned my heart for years, then took it with her in her flight.
I liked the escape you give me, and I’ll take it without remorse.
I don’t even care if you fake it. I’m using you more, no reason for force.
Pre-Chorus
It wasn’t all-consuming, girl—you gave it too easily.
You know what you got into, but you still begged me.
Walking away is my favorite part because I know I didn’t lose my heart.
You want more than I can give. Someday you might see.
Chorus
They all want to save me. They all want to own me.
But I’ve been owned before. That ship has sailed.
She took my soul a long time ago when she walked out that door.
So don’t think you’re gonna win me.
I’m not a prize and you won’t score.
Nothing left inside to gain. I’m empty there, and she’s to blame.
Bridge
Walk away now if you want to keep your innocence.
Run like hell girl if you’re not ready for me.
Everybody is the same and no matter how sweet you look . . .
There will always be only one face I see.
You’ve been warned and that’s all I can do.
Let’s forget the talking and the wasting of my time.
This is all about me, babe. I’m not worried about you.
Just another night, babe and you’re just another girl.
Chorus
They all want to save me. They all want to own me.
But I’ve been owned before. That ship has sailed.
She took my soul a long time ago when she walked out that door.
So don’t think you’re gonna win me.
I’m not a prize and you won’t score.
Nothing left inside to gain. I’m empty there, and she’s to blame.
