Dim the lights, let me tell you 'bout a story

I gave all of myself to someone turns out

They were selfish and we went out with a bang

Terrified, I made a promise to myself that

I'd never let somebody hold me down

And choke me out, and walk all over me again

I switched my energy, got no sympathy

You should beware, you should be scared of me

I got a chip on my shoulder

Break you down and puck you over, baby

Red, red rover

Nah, it ain't fun if I ain't sinning

I'm not like those other women, no

I don't gotta be the hero, don't you know

Don't you know that I'm the villain

Listen close, every bad guy's got their reason

Turned me to a criminal all cynical

But I don't want it any other way

Queue the smoke

It's so much better on the darker side

'Cause I don't get hurt no more I got

Cutthroat energy

Got no sympathy

You should beware

You should be scared of me

I got a chip on my shoulder

Break you down and puck you over, baby

Red, red rover

Nah, it ain't fun if I ain't sinning

I'm not like those other women, no

I don't gotta be the hero, don't you know

Don't you know that I'm the villain

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

I don't gotta be the hero, don't you know

Don't you know that I'm the villain
