Lioness lyrics

You're ticking like a time bomb

Fit to blow up everything

Sooner or later, babe

You're gonna come for me

Once upon a time was the only thing

To ease your pain

Somewhere along the way

You got over me

And I saw you change into a lioness

A beast in the wild, unbridled

I could see it in your eyes

You could've eaten me alive

Just to show me you could

A hunter on the prowl

My feral queen, my everything

Sooner or later, babe

You'll have your way with me

And then I shake and feel the nerves

Guess that I'll get what I deserve

'Cause I couldn't let it go (yeah)

I know better now

'Cause I saw you change into a lioness

A beast in the wild, unbridled

I could see it in your eyes

You could've eaten me alive (yeah)

I saw you change into a goddess

Holy, divine in your power

I could hear it in your cry

You could've cut me down to size

Just to show me you could

Show me you could

Show me you could

And I won't forget the way that you looked at me

I won't forget the way that you shook

Straight rattled my bones

Won't forget how you showed me your mercy (your mercy)

And I won't forget the way that you looked at me

(And I shake and feel the nerves)

I won't forget the way that you shook

(Guess that I'll get what I deserve)

Straight rattled my bones

(Guess that I'll get what I deserve)

Won't forget how you showed me your mercy

('Cause I couldn't let it go)

'Cause I saw you change into a lioness

A beast in the wild, unbridled

I could see it in your eyes

You could've eaten me alive
