Beautiful Monster
Ne-Yo · Libra Scale [2010]
All my life
And the hereafter
I've never seen
Seen one like you
You're a knife
Sharp and deadly
And it's me
That you cut into
But I don't mind
In fact I like it
Though I'm terrified
I'm turned on but scared of you
[Chorus:]
She's a monster
Beautiful monster
Beautiful monster
But I don't mind
And I need her
Said, I need her
Beautiful monster
But I don't mind
No, I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't, I don't mind...)
No, I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't, I don't mind...)
No, I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't, I don't mind...)
No, I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't, I don't mind...)
In her eyes
There's love and fire
In my heart
She's burning through
But I don't mind
In fact I like it
Though I'm terrified
I'm turned on but scared of you
[Chorus:]
She's a monster (she's a monster)

Beautiful monster (whooah)
But I don't mind (I don't mind I don't I don't mind)
No, I don't mind
Playing with my heart
And she's playing with my mind
And I don't mind, I don't, I don't mind
