Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh
I saw you walking through the hall-all
You make a woman wanna crawl-awl
Into a locker where the lights are off, lights are off
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you want only one thing
Do ya, baby? Tell me
Are you gonna hit it and leave it? Hmm, hmm
I'm too young for falling in love
Baby you should know that
Anything you'll say I'll believe it
[Chorus]
If your write your name on my paper I'll be all marked up
Baby I'm pure as an angel, don't you fuck me up
I might need an eraser to undo what you've done
Some things last forever and I don't have an eraser
[Verse 3]
Sweet talk (sweet talk)
You got me falling with your sweet talk (sweet talk)
You are the first to make me fall-all
Into a bedroom where the lights are off, lights are off (sweet talk)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I want, only one thing
I think you should maybe
Take something away from me
I'm so dumb for falling in love
Baby, I want you to
Take something away from me
[Chorus]
Come write your name on my paper
You can mark me up
I won't be pure as an angel
But I don't give a fuck
Don't think I need an eraser to undo what you've done
Say we'll last forever and I won't need an eraser
Write your name on my paper
You can mark me up
I won't be pure as an angel
But I don't give a fuck
Don't think I need an eraser to undo what you've done
Say we'll last forever and I won't need an eraser
[Bridge]
Hmm, hmm
Stars in my eyes
You feel me, right
Stay for the night
Please hold me tight
Why am I cryin'?
Oh, fuck, that's right
Got what you wanted
Oh fuck that's right
[Chorus]
You wrote your name on my paper
Now I'm all marked up
I was pure as an angel
Now I'm all fucked up
If I had an eraser I'd undo what you've done
Some things last forever and I don't have an eraser
Wrote your name on my paper
Now I'm all marked up
I was pure as an angel
Now I'm all fucked up
If I had an eraser I'd undo what you've done
Some things last forever and I don't have an eraser
