Lyrics[]
What you do to me is indescribable
Got me sparkling just like a emerald
Set my soul on fire and make me wild like the deep blue sea
No other boy ever made me feel beautiful
When I'm in your arms, feels like I have it all
Is it your tattoos or golden grill that makes me feel this way?
Got me spinnin' like a ballerina, feelin' gangsta every time I see ya
You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of disaster, disaster
Got me spinnin' like a ballerina, you the bad boy that I always dreamed of
You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of disaster, disaster
Got mascara thick, I get emotional
You know I was more than just a party girl
Isn't hard to see what's going on, I'm so far gone (Mmm, so far gone)
When I saw your face, it was incredible
Painted on my soul, it was indelible ('Cause you're the one)
Let's celebrate our twisted fate, we're the broken ones
Got me spinnin' like a ballerina, feelin' gangsta every time I see ya
You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of disaster, disaster
You got me spinnin' like a ballerina, you the bad boy that I always dreamed of
You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of disaster, disaster
Ahh, ohh, ahh!
Ladies and gentlemen, for the very first time!
You got me spinnin' like a ballerina, feelin' gangsta every time I see ya
You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of disaster (Disaster), disaster (Disaster)
You got me spinnin' like a ballerina, you're the bad boy that I always dreamed of
You're the king and I'm the beauty queen of disaster, disaster
Ahh, ahh!
