: one line, a whole song, whatever you want, just make it good.
She says this song is about when she used to hitchike everywhere. Her boyfriend had a huge problem with it, and was always trying to scare her out of the habit by renting documentaries about serial killers. One time, he rented one about a woman who gets raped, then goes out and gets revenge on a lot of men. This is what the song is about - Speculated to be about Aileen Wuornos, specifically.
Nicotine Love - Jewel
Go ahead touch me like that
The way you pull my head back
Go ahead, breathe me in
Bite me till I bleed
This love is like barbed wire running through my veins
Nicotine Love
Go ahead hurt me like that
I've been hurt before
I won't be fixed again
I'm not afraid to sweat
Cause I like the pain and it's familiar to me
And more gentle than most men will ever be
Nicotine Love
But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satsify this childish sin
This insatiable desire
A hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And I will put you to sleep
And I will press you like petals
Till you're fragile and bent thin
Then I breathe you in
Nicotine Love
It hurts just right
Not to know your name
But feel that body beneath me
Struggling as though there were some way it were the same
As when I was with him
Gonna make you promise
Out of pity
Then I will crush your little heart
Cause I can
Because it happened to me
Nicotine Love
So come here baby
My honey, cutie-pie
Let my fingers swim like pale fish through your hair
So I can tell you that I love you
You'll say, "Never let me go"
You wonder why it is I am here
But patience and it will be all too clear
Nicotine Love
But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satsify this childish sin
Nicotine Love
So go ahead touch me like that
The end is drawing near
Go ahead hurt me that way
Don't even know enough to fear
You don't know how true it is when you say
My kisses are sweet as death
But soon you'll have no more options
That's all you have left
Enough of this
Love is like barbed wire
Electric and so alone
So come here stray cat
I'm gonna take you home
And then I will press you like petals
Till you're fragile and thin
Then I'll...
Well I'll...
Breathe you in
Nicotine Love
