Lyrics

Crush

[Instrumental Intro]

[Interlude 1]

Now you see me, now you don't

Now you see me, now you don't

Now you see me, now you don't

Now you see me, now you don't

[Verse 1]

Now you see me, now you don't

Go before I am the goat

[Pre-Chorus]

You get away with murder

Kill me when you're through

Do I have to give up me

To be loved by you?

You get away with murder

What do I have to do?

Do I have to give up me

To be loved by you?

To be loved by you

To be loved by you

To be loved by you

[Chorus]

From the smallest taste I use

From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me?

Crush on me, crush on me

Crush on me, crush on me

Crush on me, crush on me, crush on

[Interlude 2]

Pile your dead on top of me

Pile your dead on top of me

Pile your dead on top of me

[Verse 2]

Pile your dead on top of me

Tape my eyes so I can't see

[Pre-Chorus]

You get away with murder

Kill me when you're through

Do I have to give up me

To be loved by you?

You get away with murder

What do I have to do?

Do I have to give up me

To be loved by you?

To be loved by you

To be loved by you

To be loved by you

[Chorus]

From the smallest taste I use

From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me?

Crush on me, crush on me

Crush on me, crush on me

Crush on me, crush on me, crush on

[Post-Chorus]

I've been waiting for today

(Won't you crush on me, crush on me?)

I can't touch you when you're far away

(Crush on me, crush on me)

Nothing makes me feel this way

(Crush on me, crush on me)

Except hate, but that fades away

(Crush on me, crush on)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

From the smallest taste I use

From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me?

Crush on me, crush on me

Crush on me, crush on me

Crush on me, crush on me, crush on

[Post-Chorus]

I've been waiting for today

(Won't you crush on me, crush on me?)

I can't touch you when you're far away

(Crush on me, crush on me)

Nothing makes me feel this way

(Crush on me, crush on me)

Except hate, but that fades away

(Crush on me, crush on)

[Instrumental Outro]
