vampire (first demo) Lyrics
[Intro: Dan Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo]
It's gotta have like a, you know?
Ambiance
Ambiance
Okay
One, two, three, four
Well, sing it again
Oh, oh, oh
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Olivia Rodrigo]
Hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now
How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
Just what you wanted
Look at you, cool guy, you got it
I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise
I loved you truly
I gotta laugh at the stupidity
[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo]
'Cause I've made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst ones look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naïve
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, fame fucker
Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire
It's gotta have like a, you know?
Ambiance
Ambiance
Okay
One, two, three, four
Well, sing it again
Oh, oh, oh
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Olivia Rodrigo]
Hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now
How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
Just what you wanted
Look at you, cool guy, you got it
I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise
I loved you truly
I gotta laugh at the stupidity
[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo]
'Cause I've made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst ones look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naïve
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, fame fucker
Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire
[Verse 2: Olivia Rodrigo]
And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news
You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called them crazy too
You're so convincing
How do you lie without flinching?
When people ask about it now, I never know quite what to say
Hard to admit I was a mark, an easy step to get your way
Went for me and not her
'Cause girls your age know better
[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo]
I've made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naïve
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, fame fucker
Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire
[Outro: Olivia Rodrigo]
Pretty good

Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire
[Outro: Olivia Rodrigo]
Pretty good
