The empress wears designer clothes
Eyes follow wherever she goes
She flips the script, she always knows
How to keep me on my toes
You think me just a pauper on a puppet string
Kneeling at your altar just to kiss the ring
But I'm not a thrall at your beck and call
Where every word you slur is law
No, I ain't here to swell your pride
You tell me that I'm just a waste of time
Well, darling, c'est la vie
Why don't you kiss me as if your lips would kill me
Oh, I ain't here to swell your pride
You tell me that I'm just a waste of time
Well, darling, c'est la vie
Why don't you kiss me as if your lips would kill me
Kill me, oh please
Kill me, oh
Not allowed to stay the night
Orders to leave before the sun will rise
God forbid you turn up in a scandal
Your fragile reputation can't stand to handle
But you couldn't care less between little deaths
The hitch in your breath when I bite your neck
Oh, it's a shame you'll never be
As free with them as you are with me
No, I ain't here to swell your pride
You tell me that I'm just a waste of time
Well, darling, c'est la vie
Why don't you kiss me as if your lips would kill me
Oh, I ain't here to swell your pride
You tell me that I'm just a waste of time
Well, darling, c'est la vie
Why don't you kiss me as if your lips would kill me
Kill me
