The Pretty Reckless – Sweet Things Lyrics

Evil—knockin’ at my door
Evil—making me its whore¹
I don’t mind
If you take what’s yours but give me mine²

Evil wants you to know
I’m much too young to be owned³
I don’t mind
If you take what’s yours but give me mine

Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I’ve got some sweet things⁴
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen⁵

I don’t mind decay
You are the night that saves my day⁶

Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don’t be afraid. I’ll keep you safe⁷

I’m evil knocking at your door
I’m evil making you my whore
I don’t mind
If you take what’s yours but give me mine

[4x]
Hey where are you going?
I wasn’t through
I’m gonna have my way with you⁸

I am like decay
I rot the ground that guides your way, oh⁹

Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I’ve got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen

How you like me now?
Did I succeed and make you proud?¹⁰

Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don’t be afraid. I’ll keep you safe¹¹
