Lyrics

(Now, now, now
Oh, mm, oh-ah
Huh! Let's go!)

When you got her in the back seat, drivin' 'round the back streets
Tryin' to block me out
(Do you remember my name?)
Cruisin' down Santa Monica Boulevard
Does it light up the spark?
(Do you remember my name?)

Is she a ride or die bitch?
Does she know I'm tattooed onto your heart?
You can try to fight it
I have left my mark on you
There is nothing you can do

When you think you're over me and
Your bad baby's dead and gone
(Remember) I'm the ghost in your machine
I'm your real-life suicide blonde

(You think that) you're in love
You're in love, you're in love
Well, she might be here, might be hot
But, baby, she's not me

(Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
(She's not me)

When you take her to Chateau Marmont 'cause you booked the top suite
Lay her on the bed
(Do you remember my name?)
Strip her down to her bare ass, in her Kiki Montparnasse
Like I used to have
(Do you remember my name?)

Is she a ride or die bitch?
Does she make you shiver under your skin
Just the way that I did?
It won't be the same again
She don't compare to who I am

When you think you're over me and
Your bad baby's dead and gone
(Remember) I'm the ghost in your machine
I'm your real-life suicide blonde

(You think that) you're in love
You're in love, you're in love
Well, she might be here, might be hot
But, baby, she's not me

You try to forget and you tell her that you miss her
But I bet every time you go to kiss her
You get a hot rush feelin' on your lips
It's me takin' over you, throwin' you a curveball

Remindin' you of our true romance and
Just like the first time you learned to dance and
I showed you all those moves she can't do

(She's not me, me, me)

When you think you're over me and
Your bad baby's dead and gone
(Remember) I'm the ghost in your machine
I'm your real-life suicide blonde

(You think that) you're in love
You're in love, you're in love
Well, she might be here, might be hot
But, baby, she's not

When you think you're over me and
Your bad baby's dead and gone
(Remember) I'm the ghost in your machine
I'm your real-life suicide blonde

(You think that) you're in love
You're in love, you're in love
Well, she might be here, might be hot
But, baby, she's not me
