Shut your mouth and close the door
I wanna, watch you while you take it off
I'm gonna, take a blindfold put it on
And then I drop the letter to the floor
I said shut up!

Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!

My styletto on your neck
Until i, tie your hands above the bed,
You've got to, but boy don't pull the trigger yet
Nanana, I haven't reloaded the clip
No matter

Squeeze, hot, hold that pose
You know I like it do it sweetheart, I'm the boss
I'll let you get close to it
I'm gonna make tonight a show
Oh oh
I'll make your love grenade explode, nanana

Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!

Sex, love, control, vanity
Sex, love, control, vanity
Sex, love, control, vanity
(And the mirrors gonna fall tonight)
Sex, love, control, vanity
(And the mirrors gonna fall tonight)
Sex, love, control, vanity
(And the mirrors gonna fall tonight)
Sex, love, control, vanity
(The mirrors gon' fog tonight)
Vanity, vanity

Squeeze, hot, hold that pose
You know I like it do it sweetheart, I'm the boss
I'll let you get close to it
I'm gonna make tonight a show
Oh oh
I'll make your love grenade explode, nanana

Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
