You know I love it when you're down on your knees And I'm a junkie for the way that you please You shut me up when you swallow me down My back to the wall you're going to town [Chorus] I almost told you that I loved you Thank God I didn't 'cause it would have been a lie I say the damnedest things when you're on top of me I almost told you that I loved you I hate to say it but it has to be said You look so fragile as I f*ck with your head I know it shouldn't but it's getting me on If sex is the drug then what is the cost? [Chorus] I'm not the one that you want Not the one that you need My love is like a fucking disease You can give me your hand You can make your demands I'm the hardest mother fucker to please [Chorus] (I'm not the one that you want) I almost told you that I loved you (I'm not the one that you need) Thank God I didn't 'cause it would have been a lie (I'm not the one that you want) I say the damnedest things when you're on top of me (The one that you need) I almost told you that I loved you
