Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
I met you at a wedding in July
Your uncle poured the rakija too strong
You danced on the table with a napkin on your head
And I thought yeah that is the one
You told me you own three hundred pairs of shoes
I said cool I own a single broken bike
Your laugh came out loud like a brass band parade
And my heart did a thing I don't like
Pre-Chorus
So I brought you a peach
Then a poem in a jar
Then I tripped on the step
And I waved from the ground
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Verse 2
You keep a small knife in your handbag for style
You named all my houseplants after dead kings
You say that my cooking resembles a crime
Then you eat every bite of the thing
Your mother believes I'm a spy from the coast
My father believes you're a storm in a dress
We argue in whispers about who loves who more
And lose every time I confess
Pre-Chorus
So I learned how to waltz
Then I learned how to lie
Then I learned that your dog
Likes me more than you do
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Bridge
Tell me tell me tell me
Are you scared of me too
Tell me tell me tell me
Are you scared of me too
Breakdown
Tu-tu-tu-turning in your sleep
Tu-tu-tu-turning next to me
Hold my hand the awful way
Hold my hand and stay and stay
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Hey hey
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Verse 3
You stole my umbrella in the middle of June
To build a small fort for the cat
You said that my heartbeat was slightly off tune
And offered to fix it with that
You wrote your name backwards across my white wall
In lipstick you borrowed from me
You told all the neighbors I howl at the moon
And honestly let them believe
Pre-Chorus
So I bought you a goat
Then a ring made of tin
Then you sold both online
And you bought me a hat
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Verse 4
Your grandma keeps asking when we will elope
I said when the plum brandy runs dry
You kissed me so hard that I lost both my shoes
And I still don't know how or know why
You buried my phone in the garden for fun
You said you would dig it up soon
That was last autumn and now it's a tree
And the tree doesn't answer you too
Pre-Chorus
So I carved you a spoon
Then I burned us some bread
Then I found your black list
And my name was on top
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Bridge
Tell me tell me tell me
Would you marry me wrong
Tell me tell me tell me
Would you marry me wrong
Breakdown
Ta-ta-ta-taking off your ring
Ta-ta-ta-taking it back again
Kiss my hand the awful way
Kiss my hand and stay and stay
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Hey hey
Outro
Shoes shoes three hundred shoes
(Mine mine only one bike)
Knife knife inside your bag
(Sharp sharp sharper than me)
Drink drink the rakija
(More more pour it again)
Dance dance on the table now
(Now now look at us go)
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
Verse 5
You taught my parrot to insult my aunt
Then blamed it on the mailman instead
You hung all my shirts on the lemon tree branch
And told me that's how they get fed
You counted my freckles and gave them a score
You said I had seven too few
You drew me a map to the place where you snore
And charged all the neighbors to view
Pre-Chorus
So I built you a shelf
Then I painted it green
Then you hid all my socks
In the freezer again
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Verse 6
You said that my shadow was walking too slow
And offered to lend it your own
You filled up my bathtub with nothing but plums
And said that's how kings bathe at home
Your cousin still calls me the wrong name at dawn
I answer because it's a nicer one
You keep a small spider you call him The Boss
He signs all our papers in dust
Pre-Chorus
So I knitted a tie
Then I dyed my hair red
Then you shaved one eyebrow
Just to see if I'd stay
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Bridge
Tell me tell me tell me
Will you haunt me for good
Tell me tell me tell me
Will you haunt me for good
Breakdown
Dra-dra-dragging me through mud
Dra-dra-dragging me through snow
Bite my lip the awful way
Bite my lip and stay and stay
Verse 7
You read all my diaries out loud to the dog
The dog did not seem impressed
You sold my guitar for a lighter and string
And said it was all for the best
You made me a cake out of salt and regret
Then ate it and asked me for more
You bet all my savings on one lazy bet
And won and then lost and then swore
Pre-Chorus
So I wrote you a song
Then I hid it in ice
Then you found it and cried
And you told no one twice
Chorus
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
Post-Chorus
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Outro
Late late at the wedding hall
(One more one more slice of cake)
Shoes shoes three hundred shoes
(Count count count them again)
Wait wait don't you take my bike
(Mine mine ride it downhill)
Laugh laugh till the neighbors wake
(Now now look at us go)
La la la la
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la la
Hey hey
Be my little nightmare
Be my sweet mistake
Be my little nightmare
You bite I bake
You bite I bake
