[Intro]
Come closer—just enough to hear
The little warning in your ear
[Verse 1]
I wait where the velvet curtains part
With a silver smile and a patient heart
You check the lock, you count the stairs
I know the shape of every fear
You take the long way through the hall
I hear your pulse behind the wall
Keep running, darling, make it fun
The hunt is sweetest before it’s done
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hide your face
You can change your name
But desire leaves a trace
And I follow it the same
[Chorus]
I am the predator, you are the prey
Turn every corner, I’ll still have my way
Fight me, deny me, swear you’ll escape
I’ll taste your surrender before it takes shape
I am the predator, call me tonight
A kiss like a secret, a bite like a rite
You can keep moving, but don’t make me wait
I always get my way
[Verse 2]
Your coat on the chair, your glass going cold
Your brave little story is badly told
I circle the room with a slow, sweet grin
The night has a door, but I’m already in
No need for chains, no need for cries
Just one small truth in your guarded eyes
You want the danger dressed in red
You want the words I haven’t said
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hold your breath
You can turn away
But the closer comes the death
Of the game you meant to play
[Chorus]
I am the predator, you are the prey
Turn every corner, I’ll still have my way
Fight me, deny me, swear you’ll escape
I’ll taste your surrender before it takes shape
I am the predator, call me tonight
A kiss like a secret, a bite like a rite
You can keep moving, but don’t make me wait
I always get my way
[Bridge]
Hush now—hear that heartbeat knock?
Midnight’s leaning on the clock
One step, two steps, nowhere to go
Tell me you’re ready, soft and slow
I don’t need your mercy
I don’t need your name
I only need the moment
When you stop resisting the flame
[Final Chorus]
I am the predator, you are the prey
Turn every corner, I’ll still have my way
Fight me, deny me, swear you’ll escape
I’ll taste your surrender before it takes shape
I am the predator, queen of the night
Your last little defense dissolves in the light
You can keep moving, but don’t make me wait
I always get my way
[Outro]
Come closer—just enough to hear
There’s no one coming, darling dear
The door is open, the room is red
And I am standing by your bed
