jazz girl gone bad

Lyrics

Chorus

Just a girl playing hard to get

Foolin' you with my cigarette stare

Act like I never needed you yet

But darling I’m struggling to act like I don’t care

Post-Chorus

Oh, I keep slipping (keep slipping)

Oh, you keep grinning

Verse 2

You talk slow with that velvet tongue

I look away but I’m already spun

Painted lips hiding all my truth

Swear I’m strong but I can’t hide from you

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself I’m safe up here

Cool steel wrapped around my nerves

But when you lean in, doubts appear

A shaky hand, a love that serves

Chorus

Just a girl playing hard to get

Foolin' you with my cigarette stare

Act like I never needed you yet

But darling I’m struggling to act like I don’t care

Post-Chorus

Oh, I keep slipping (keep slipping)

Oh, you keep grinning

Bridge

Moonlit halls where secrets hang low

Your shadow clings, and I wear it slow

Glass half empty when you call my name

Fighting your fire, but I’m drawn to the flame

Outro

Another night with these games we play

Love on my lips, but the words decay

If I let you in, will I lose my edge?

Or just a girl at the window's ledge

Outro

Another night with these games we play

Love on my lips, but the words decay

If I let you in, will I lose my edge?

Or just a girl at the window's ledge
