Lyrics

Asking For It (Unplugged)

[Verse 1]

Every time that I sell myself to you

Feel a little bit cheaper than I need to

I will tear the petals off of you

Rose red, I will make you tell the truth

[Chorus]

Was she asking for it?

Was she asking nice?

If she was asking for it

Did she ask you twice?

[Verse 2]

Every time that I stare into the sun

Angel dust and my dress just comes undone

Every time that I stare into the sun

Be a model or just look like one

Wild-eye rotgut do me in

Do you think you can make me do it again?

[Chorus]

Was shе asking for it?

Was she asking nice?

If she was asking for it

Did shе ask you twice?

[Bridge]

Live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

[Chorus]

Was she asking for it?

Was she asking nice?

If she was asking for it

Did she ask you twice?

Was she asking for it?

Was she asking nice?

If she was asking for it

Did she ask you twice?

[Outro]

I don't care anymore

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

And if you live through this with me

I swear that I would die for you

Live, live, live, live

Live
