Jason DeRulo · Tattoos [2013]

Who's more desperate?

You're on your knees boo

But when you fuck up

I don't leave you

I can't leave you

Guess you're permanent

Can't be removed

Each time my heart breaks

It's like a new tattoo

Don't need a new tattoo

One touch always makes me

Too hard to escape

Three strikes

I'm still yours, what am I waiting for?



I'm running out of room

For your tattoos

How can I get over you, over you

When you're all over me

So don't tell me it's cool

That I'm tattooed

How can I get over you, over you

When you're all over me

Yeah, yeah



Why do we stay

When only fools would

I guess we're both fools

Cause the sex is good

It's way too good

Call us crazy, misunderstood

Cause I can't leave you cause I know I should

People say I should

The one touch always makes me

Too hard to escape

Three strikes

I'm still yours, what am I waiting for?



I'm running out of room

For your tattoos

How can I get over you, over you

When you're all over me

So don't tell me it's cool

That I'm tattooed

How can I get over you, over you

When you're all over me

Yeah, yeah



Permanently trying to hide

The scars we can't remove

You're drawn on me and I'm still drawn to you



I'm running out of room

For your tattoos

How can I get over you, over you

When you're all over me

So don't tell me it's cool

That I'm tattooed

How can I get over you, over you

When you're all over me

Yeah, yeah
