[Verse 1]
You stand so still
Hiding on the corner
Waiting for a sign to come, I come, ah
I know your type
Yeah, you're all the same
But who I am to blame when I fall deep?

[Pre-Chorus]
In the beginning, you intrigue
But the way you move, it terrifies me
And you remind me of the things that I don't need

[Chorus]
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle you
Can't handle you

[Verse 2]
I take one step
Then I take one backwards
I'm kinda curious
Oh no, you got me already
[Pre-Chorus]
In the beginning, you succeed
But the way you move, it terrifies me
And you remind me of the things that I don't need

[Chorus]
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle you

[Bridge]
I don't need your mess
I don't need your shadow
I don't need your bed
I always found it shallow
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle—
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle you
Can't handle you
