[Verse 1 — breathy, intimate, playful]
You said, come here,
so I made you ask twice.
I like the way you lose your nerve
when I’m trying to be nice.
Cherry on my tongue,
your hands around my waist,
you swear you’re gonna take it slow—
then look at me that way.
[Pre-Chorus]
I could behave,
I could be good.
Could keep my hands to myself
like you think I should.
But where’s the fun in that
when you’re already a mess?
You say you like me innocent—
I think you like me best…
[Chorus]
Oh, you like me best like this,
lipstick crooked from your kiss,
playing innocent again
like you don’t know where I’ve been.
Little wicked, little sweet,
your favorite kind of chemistry.
Say I’m trouble, I confess—
you always like me best
under my velvet hex.
[Post-Chorus — whispered, teasing]
Mm, look at you.
Trying not to stare.
That’s cute.
[Verse 2]
Tell me I’m a bad idea
with your fingers on my thigh.
Baby, you’re a terrible liar,
but God, I love when you try.
You say, don’t start,
I haven’t done a thing.
Just traced a little circle
where your pulse meets your skin.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that look,
don’t play confused.
You’re only scared of losing
what you wanted me to lose.
Your composure’s getting thin,
your heartbeat does the rest.
You say you like me innocent—
but you like me better…
[Chorus]
Oh, you like me best like this,
lipstick crooked from your kiss,
playing innocent again
like you don’t know where I’ve been.
Little wicked, little sweet,
your favorite kind of chemistry.
Say I’m trouble, I confess—
you always like me best
under my velvet hex.
[Bridge — breathy, building tension]
Maybe it’s the perfume.
Maybe it’s the dress.
Maybe it’s the way I say your name
when I’m inches from your neck.
Maybe I’m enchanted.
Maybe you’re possessed.
…or maybe you just like me
when I’m being a little less—
[Instrumental drops out — whispered]
innocent.
[Breakdown — low, seductive, heavier beat]
So come here.
Closer.
Don’t make me ask again.
You can tell yourself tomorrow
you were helpless in the end.
Blame the stars,
blame the liquor,
blame the moonlight if you must—
but magic never made you
look at me like that.
[Final Chorus]
You like me best like this,
lipstick ruined from your kiss,
not so innocent again—
and we both know where you’ve been.
Little wicked, little sweet,
come get your favorite part of me.
Call me trouble, I confess—
you never could resist
my velvet hex.
[Outro — close-mic whisper, playful]
You said I put a spell on you.
Mm.
Whatever helps you sleep, baby.
You liked me best like this.
