Lyrics

I guess it's symptomatic of a slight infatuation
Stalkin' you has sorta become like my occupation
Used to be a beauty queen with simple acquisitions
Met my local rockstar, now I'm havin' visions

I fell for you, you like me too
Let's get it on, check, one, two

I fell for you, you want me too
Let's get it on

Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
Makin' out with you while you're singin' your song
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
You're playin' your guitar and it's turnin' me on

You got your eyeliner, long hair
Walkin' 'round like you don't care
You got me in the back of your car, like a star
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right

I get so systematic in this kind of situation
I need it, have to have it, to take over domination
Used to be so simple, never wantin', never wishin'
Now I'm hooked on fame and I'm a girl on a mission

I fall for you, it's all for you
Let's get it on, check, one, two

I fall for you, it's all for you
Let's get it on

Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
Makin' out with you while you're singin' your song
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
You're playin' your guitar and it's turnin' me on

You got your eyeliner, long hair
Walkin' 'round like you don't care
You got me in the back of your car, like a star
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right

The funny little thing about love
Is that you're born with a type
And even when you think you had enough
You're wanting more it isn't right but (you can't stop)

You got your eyeliner, long hair
Walkin' 'round like you don't care
You got me in the back of your ca-ca-ca-car

You got your eyeliner, long hair
Walkin' 'round like you don't care
You got me in the back of your ca-ca-ca-car
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right
