Lioness

You’re ticking like a time bomb
Fit to blow up everything
Sooner or later, babe
You’re gonna come for me
Once upon a time was the only thing
To ease your pain
Somewhere along the way
You got over me

And I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could’ve eaten me alive
Just to show me you could

A hunter on the prowl
My feral queen, my everything
Sooner or later, babe
You’ll have your way with me
And then I shake and feel the nerves
Guess that I’ll get what I deserve
‘Cause I couldn’t let it go (yeah)
I know better now

‘Cause I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could’ve eaten me alive (yeah)
I saw you change into a goddess
Holy, divine in your power
I could hear it in your cry
You could’ve cut me down to size

Just to show me you could
Show me you could
Show me you could

And I won’t forget the way that you looked at me
I won’t forget the way that you shook
Straight rattled my bones
Won’t forget how you showed me your mercy (your mercy)

And I won’t forget the way that you looked at me
(And I shake and feel the nerves)
I won’t forget the way that you shook
(Guess that I’ll get what I deserve)
Straight rattled my bones
(Guess that I’ll get what I deserve)
Won’t forget how you showed me your mercy
(‘Cause I couldn’t let it go)

‘Cause I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could’ve eaten me alive
