Ingénue Lyrics

I collect the images of disappointed faces

And then I put 'em on to be the one to pain it

Try to be the kind of girl that you're wanting to faint and slip

Big Arm Almanac

Put them 'round the small of back

And then I run right through the Field of all the Famous

I get the girl I gave away and then I gain her

You don't wanna fall for me

I say while I replay it

Ooh-ah, ooh-la-la

Colette cool enough for you?

C'mon

Can you love me with the lights on?

Tell me, tell me, baby, how to play the right one

I've been following all of my cues

I'm a bleeder for you

I don't love what you do but

I love it when I'm not the one you choose

Yeah, you're missin' out

I'm a wild

IN-GÉ-NUE

Bat your eyes!

Cue the cry!

Do the sigh!

You're the ingénue!

Used to think I need it

Like I needed to breathe

But I don't need another body 'less he's bending the knee

And I've been bating my breath

To be the girl in your head

'Cause, like, I'm so Americana when I cry on your chest!

What you want?

What you want?

Oh you want me right now?

On the couch? On the ground?

Oh, now, can you hear the sound

Of your sweet little summer bright starlet

Picking all the petals of your withering heart?

C'mon

Can you love me with the lights on?

Tell me, tell me, baby, how to play the right one

I've been following all of my cues

I'm a bleeder for you

I don't love what you do but

I love it when I'm not the one you choose

Yeah, you're missin' out

I'm a wild

IN-GÉ-NUE

Bat your eyes!

Cue the cry!

Do the sigh!

You're the ingénue!

Switch on, was I ever any more gone?

That night was an effervescent love song

Funny how

I come undone

And the only love I get I gotta run from

You know the best that I give isn't

Ever really gonna scratch that itch, is it?

I'll be the girl you can't sit with

Oh, God, you get all under my skin

C'mon

Can you love me with the lights on?

Tell me, tell me, baby, how to play the right one

I've been following all of my cues

I'm a bleeder for you

I don't love what you do but

I love it when I'm not the one you choose

Yeah, you're missin' out

I'm a wild

IN-GÉ-NUE

C'mon

Can you love me with the lights on?

Tell me, tell me, baby, how to play the right one

I've been following all of my cues

I'm a bleeder for you

I don't love what you do but

I love it when I'm not the one you choose

Yeah, you're missin' out

I'm a wild

IN-GÉ-NUE
