Before You Met Me – Elle King

You say I’m the kinda girl who makes you finally settle down
Put a down payment on a little white house
Mama’s gonna love me, front row every Sunday kinda christian
No cussin’
Tell me I’m the reason that you cleaned up your act
Wouldn’t have a future if I knew your past
Biggest regret is that you wish you would’ve met me sooner
But if you knew her
I was a trainwreck, hot mess, too many cigarettes
Bangin’ with some drug store lipstick
I was a weeknight drinker, karaoke singer
Top of every preacher’s prayer list
The way I used to be, I can guarantee
Two weeks in, you would’ve left me
Lookin’ at the old me, anythin’ but holy
Glad you didn’t know me before you met me
I would’ve chewed you up and I would’ve spit you out
One-night mistake that you tell your friends about
Time was on my side, we’d have ended before we even started
Back when
I was a trainwreck, hot mess, too many cigarettes
Bangin’ with some drug store lipstick
I was a weeknight drinker, karaoke singer
Top of every preacher’s prayer list
The way I used to be, I can guarantee
Two weeks in, you would’ve left me
Lookin’ at the old me, anythin’ but holy
Glad you didn’t know me before you met me
Didn’t know no better, wasn’t thinkin’ ‘bout forever
Didn’t know myself before you met me
I was a trainwreck, hot mess, too many cigarettes
Bangin’ with some drug store lipstick
I was a weeknight drinker, karaoke singer
Top of every preacher’s prayer list
The way I used to be, I can guarantee
Two weeks in, you would’ve left me
Lookin’ at the old me, anythin’ but holy
Glad you didn’t know me before you met me
Before you met me

Lucky – Elle King

I’ve been a runner, I’ve been a fighter
I’ve been the fuse, hell, I’ve been the lighter
Taken every wrong turn down the bridges I burned
It’s a bad reputation, but it’s damn well earned
Gotta thank God that this ol’ life ain’t fair
There’s only one way to explain how I got here
I got lucky
Well, ain’t that’s somethin’ for someone just like me
Who don’t deserve a damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
And I know I show it then and now
But, hell, I chose it, yеah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky
I’ve been it all, I’ve been еmpty
I’ve had nothin’, I’ve had plenty
Yeah, I’ve done the dance, too many close calls
More than most, most of all
I got lucky
Ain’t that somethin’ for someone just like me
Who don’t deserve a damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
I know I show it then and now
But, hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky
I make sure I don’t make it on easy on me
But I woke up today, so that must mean
I got lucky
Well, ain’t that somethin’ for someone just like me
Who don’t deserve one damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
And I know I show it then and now
Hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky
I got lucky
Oh
I’m your mom
I’m your mom

Crawlin’ Mood – Elle King

Whiskey and jealousy
And you have history
Of accusin’ me of sins, it just ain’t fair
Well, you kick me out and call me names
And to keep the peace, I take the blame
This time, darlin’, I don’t really care
I dug myself a hole with what I said, said, said
‘Fore I hold you in my arms, I’ll have to beg, beg, beg
Crawlin’ is the only way to make my way back to you
But, baby, I ain’t in no crawlin’ mood
Spare room, sittin’ on a thread bare couch
I’m lookin’ around the old dog house
Thinkin’ to myself: This ain’t so bad
I’ma count them all then I’ll make ‘em blue
This bluetick hound ain’t mean as you
He likes my cookin’ and my jokes and he never gets mad
I dug myself a hole with what I said, said, said
‘Fore I hold you in my arms, I’ll have to beg, beg, beg
Crawlin’ is the only way to make my way back to you
But, baby, I ain’t in no crawlin’ mood
Had a couple of days now to reflect
How I miss your kisses and a nice warm bed
And I got it in my head to apologize
But somethin’ don’t seem right with me
‘Bout showin’ up on bended knee
With big ol’ crocodile tears here in my eyes, yeah
I dug myself a hole with what I said, said, said
‘Fore I hold you in my arms, I’ll have to beg, beg, beg
Crawlin’ is the only way to make my way back to you
But, baby, I ain’t in no crawlin’ mood
Yeah, tomorrow I’ll wake up with a brand new attitude
But, right now, I just ain’t in no crawlin’ mood

Bonafide – Elle King

I was always gonna end up on the wrong side of the track
I’m a blonde hair, nutcase, freakshow, certified damn maniac
The wheels upstairs are turnin’, but I swear that hamster died
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide
Hell raisin’ and high water, my tire’s done gone flat
I’m the bottom of the barrel with a target on my back
My mind goes to the gutter, man, to me that’s aimin’ high
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide
Bona fide on the bible, bona fide on arrival
Them lights are on, but, baby, they ain’t bright (they ain’t bright)
So hit me where it hurts ‘causе, honey, I’ve answerеd to worse
I was born a little wrong, but that’s alright (that’s alright)
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide
I’m salt poured in my coffee, sugar in the tank
I’m down to my last dollar laughin’ on down to the bank
I stayed off the wagon ‘cause that horse was too damn high
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide
Bona fide on the bible, bona fide on arrival
Them lights are on, but, baby, they ain’t bright (they ain’t bright)
So hit me where it hurts ‘cause, honey, I’ve answered to worse
I was born a little wrong, but that’s alright (that’s alright)
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide
My left foot’s on my right foot, my right foot’s in my mouth
Hell, I be droppin’ knowledge, but I just can’t spit it out
Well, I ain’t ever lonely ‘cause it’s me, myself and I
You could bet your ass we’re crazy bona fide
Bona fide on the bible, bona fide on arrival
Them lights are on, but, baby, they ain’t bright (they ain’t bright)
So hit me where it hurts ‘cause, honey, I’ve answered to worse
I was born a little wrong, but that’s alright (that’s alright)
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide
You could bet your ass I’m crazy bona fide

Blacked Out – Elle King

Hollow
Thunder wakes me up before the Sun
Wallow
Pickin’ out the splinters one by one
Tell it to the mountain, tell it to the river
Leave it in the shadows, leave to the sinners
Swallow
Takin’ all the punches as they come
Last night, I blacked out
The memories we knew
And then I cashed out
I paid your demons too
And then I passed out
A goodbye kiss for you
Because I just don’t have the heart to love you
Goodbye
Must’ve said that word million times
Watch out
It’s too hard to read between the lines
So I tell it to the mountain, tell it to the river
Leave it in the shadows, leave to the sinners
Midnight
‘Nother chance to leave it all behind
Last night, I blacked out
The memories we knew
And then I cashed out
I paid your demons too
And then I passed out
A goodbye kiss for you
Because I just don’t have the heart to love you
Blacked out (blacked out)
The embers of the flame
I want ‘em blacked out (blacked out)
The tattoos of your name
I want ‘em blacked out (blacked out)
Whatever still remains
Because I just don’t have the heart to love you
I just don’t have the heart to love you
Hollow
Thunder wakes me up before the Sun
Last night, I blacked out
The memories we knew
And then I cashed out
I paid your demons too
And then I passed out
A goodbye kiss for you
Because I just don’t have the heart to love you
Blacked out (blacked out)
The embers of the flame
I want ‘em blacked out (blacked out)
The tattoos of your name
I want ‘em blacked out (blacked out)
Whatever still remains
Because I just don’t have the heart to love you

Love Go By – Elle King

Don’t even tell me
‘Cause I don’t need to know about the others
Why you trippin’, babe? We got each other
I don’t want nobody but you
Another nosebleed
You don’t gotta tell where you’re hidin’
I already know what you’re like when you’ve been drinkin’
I don’t want nobody but you, baby
Make me wanna cry sometimes
Make me wanna die sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
Even though it hurts sometimes
We can be the worst sometimes
I won’t let your lovе go by
You only call me
When you’re lonеly and you’re needin’ some attention
Baby, I can see through your intentions
I can’t even say no to you
I can’t speak
‘Cause, baby, you know I’m guilty of the same shit
I do just what I want because you take it
At least I’m comin’ home to you, baby (coming home to you)
Make me wanna cry sometimes
Make me wanna die sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
Even though it hurts sometimes
We can be the worst sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
(Lovin’ you) cuts me deeper every time
(You) that’s why I never get my hopes too high
(True) what they say about real life
Make you wanna scream, just bleed till you get it right
Make me wanna cry sometimes
Make me wanna die sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
Even though it hurts sometimes
We can be the worst sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
Make me wanna cry sometimes
Make me wanna die sometimes
I won’t let your love go by (let your love go by)
Even though it hurts sometimes
We can be the worst sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
Make me wanna cry sometimes
Make me wanna die sometimes
I won’t let your love go by
