Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
When you crossed me, didn't know what you had done
A chain reaction happened and it's too late to run
[Pre-Chorus]
You look at me, I look at you
And you know what I'm gonna do
[Chorus]
When I see red, I go
And the serotonin will flow
And there's no bandage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
'Cause the wicked don't ever rest
And I give as good as I get
You've got no advantage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
[Verse 2]
When I find my target, I will point and shoot
Hit you where it hurts now, don't you try to move
[Pre-Chorus]
You look at me, I look at you
And you know what I'm gonna do
[Chorus]
When I see red, I go
And the serotonin will flow
And there's no bandage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
'Cause the wicked don't ever rest
And I give as good as I get
You've got no advantage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
[Post-Chorus]
Lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
[Bridge]
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
[Chorus]
When I see red, I go
And the serotonin will flow
And there's no bandage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
'Cause the wicked don't ever rest
And I give as good as I get
You've got no advantage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
