I caught your fever, I could lose control
Still a believer, up against the ropes

But now I'm with you every night, never stayin' over
Wishing I could let you in
You're countin' pennies for the cab while I'm gettin' sober
Thinkin', "here we go again"

I need your sweet talk, sweet talk
Wish I could hear you with your lips locked, non-stop
You're one hell of a time, a silver thorn in my side
You make my heart stop, heart stop
I need your sweet talk
(I need your sweet talk)

Cutting me deeper, sour to the bone
Never believed her, too subliminal

But now I'm with you every night, never stayin' over
Wishing I could let you in
You're countin' pennies for the cab while I'm gettin' sober
Thinkin', "here we go again"

I need your sweet talk, sweet talk
Wish I could hear you with your lips locked, non-stop
You're one hell of a time, a silver thorn in my side
You make my heart stop, heart stop
I need your sweet talk
(I need your sweet talk
Your sweet talk
Your sweet talk
I need your sweet talk)

So come through with your sins
Candy on my lips, now you've got me chokin'
Face down, to pretend
Loving you was just a dream
But now I'm runnin' red lights tryna call your number
Screamin', will you let me in
I'm in the middle of the road where you ran me over
Prayin' will you do it again?

I need your sweet talk, sweet talk
Wish I could hear you with your lips locked, non-stop
You're one hell of a time, a silver thorn in my side
You make my heart stop, heart stop
I need your sweet talk

Come through with your sins
Candy on my lips, now you've got me chokin'
Face down, to pretend
Loving you was just a dream
But now I'm runnin' red, runnin' red lights
Runnin' red, runnin' red
You make my heart stop, heart stop
I need your sweet talk
(I need your sweet talk)
