[Verse 1]
What's a hero to a villain
Other than it’s perfect half
You can deny the tension
But baby it's rising
And I won’t back down
Is that flush because of battle?
Or am I just in your head
You seem distracted
Are we still fighting
Or am I in your bed instead?

[Verse 2]
What do you see when you look at me?
Am I the love of your life or your enemy?
Keep your friends close but hold me closer to you

[Chorus]
And if I'm the villain
Then you better start running
'Cause you won’t last long
If you're up against me
Don't stop to think about
What it would feel like
With your lips on mine
I see you checking out my moves
Better stop cause you’re 'bout to lose
One quick hit and I leave you breathless
Never thought you could look so helpless
Woah
[Verse 3]
Why deny your admiration
“Is it lust? infatuation?”
You are so easy to predict
My love's a drug and you’re an addict
I can hear your pounding heartbeat
You were mine right from the start, see
Every hero needs a villain
But I don’t need you

[Verse 4]
You think you're so much better
When you're really not all that
You keep on trying to convince yourself
It's a game of mouse and cat
When in reality you've fallen
And it's very clear to see
You like to lock away your feelings
But I hold the key
Woah!

[Chorus]
And if I'm the villain
Then you better start running
'Cause you won't last long
If you’re up against me
Don't stop to think about
What it would feel like
With your lips on mine
I see you checking out my moves
Better stop cause you're 'bout to lose
One quick hit and I leave you breathless
Never thought you could look so helpless
Woah
