I knew he was dangerous the first time I saw him Wondering how many girls he had loved and left broken-hearted But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom Keeping him hostage Some boys try too hard He doesn't even try Younger than my exes but acts like a man I see nothing better, I'll keep him forever Like a vendetta I see how this will go Touch me and you'll never be alone Island breeze and dim lights No one needs to know In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see what we do, baby In the middle of the night, in my dreams I know I'll be with you So I'll take my time Are you ready for it? I knew I was a thief the first time he saw me Stealing hearts and running away without apologies But if I'm a thief, then he can join me And we'll move to an island And he can be my captor, Burton to this Taylor Every other lover fades in comparison I forget their names now, I'm so tame now Never the same now I see how this will go Touch me and you'll never be alone Island breeze and dim lights No one needs to know In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see what we do, baby In the middle of the night, in my dreams I know I'll be with you So I'll take my time Are you ready for it? Oh, are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin I see how this will go Touch me and you'll never be alone Island breeze and dim lights No one needs to know In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see what we do, baby In the middle of the night, in my dreams I know I'll be with you So I take my time In the middle of the night Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Are you ready for it?
Original lyrics
Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom Holdin' him for ransom Some, some boys are tryin' too hard He don't try at all, though Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so I see nothing better, I keep him forever Like a vendetta-ta I-I-I see how this is gon' go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see the things we do, baby (mmm) In the middle of the night, in my dreams I know I'm gonna be with you So I'll take my time Are you ready for it? Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist And we'll move to an island, and And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor Every lover known in comparison is a failure I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now Never be the same now, now I-I-I see how this is gon' go (go) Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low (low) No one has to know (No one has to know) In the middle of the night, in my dreams (eh) You should see the things we do (we do), baby In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams) I know I'm gonna be with you So I'll take my time Are you ready for it? Oh, are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin (now) Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin I-I-I see how this is gon' go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams) You should see the things we do (we do), baby (baby, mmm, eh) In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams) I know I'm gonna be with you So I take my time (eh) In the middle of the night Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Are you ready for it?
