You're toxic, you're dangerous,
You're bad for me,
But why is it,
That you're the only one I can see?

I don't know if you're the shackles,
Or the keys to set me free,
But maybe, just once,
Could you look at me, please?

They say I shouldn't like you,
Or you'll just leave me alone,
That you're a bastard who'll walk away,
Just leaving me with the bone.

But what would they say?
If I ever walked away, thinking that,
I couldn't care less what they say,
As long as you permit me to stay.

People gossip, people talk,
People always do,
Though what else can I do,
But keep going along with you?

Some people say I'm stupid,
Some people say I've lost it,
But honestly?
I think you're worth all of it.
