[Intro — whispered, mysterious]
Oh…
You know you shouldn’t…
(But you will)
Candy Viper…
[Verse 1 — smooth, teasing vocals]
Saw you watching from across the room,
Trying to hide but your eyes tell the truth,
I’m the secret that you keep inside,
The little temptation living in your mind,
Gold lights dripping from the chandelier,
Say my name when I disappear,
You call it trouble, I call it fate,
You’re already running but it’s too late,
[Pre-Chorus — building tension]
Don’t pretend you don’t like the danger,
Don’t pretend that I’m still a stranger,
Every heartbeat gives you away,
Every little move makes you wanna stay,
[Chorus — big hypnotic hook]
I’m your guilty pleasure,
The dream you can’t erase,
The beautiful disaster,
You’re dying just to chase,
I’m your midnight treasure,
The spark you can’t replace,
You can run forever,
But you’ll remember my name,
Your guilty pleasure…
Your guilty pleasure…
[Verse 2 — confident attitude]
Sweet like sugar, sharp like a blade,
Built an empire from the games they played,
I’m not the girl that I used to be,
I’m the fantasy they wanna see,
Red lips, black dress, diamonds glow,
A little mystery they’ll never know,
They wanted perfect, I gave them real,
Now they’re addicted to the way I feel,
[Bridge — dramatic R&B vocal moment]
Maybe I’m wrong,
Maybe I’m right,
Maybe I’m the reason you’re awake tonight,
Call me dangerous,
Call me too much,
Funny how they judge what they secretly love…
[Final Chorus — bigger vocals + ad-libs]
I’m your guilty pleasure,
The dream you can’t erase,
The beautiful disaster,
You’re dying just to chase,
I’m your guilty pleasure,
The fire you can’t contain,
Say you don’t need me,
Then you come back again…
(Come back again…)
[Outro — whispered]
Don’t feel bad…
Everybody has one.
