Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She pull up in black boots
Hair tied, red lip stain
Eyes cold like a handgun
But she look at me plain
On the corner, under palms
She don't talk, she just nod
Got a lipstick kiss on brass
And a prayer tucked in her shawl

She know the back roads
She know who owe, who fold
I been living wrong so long
She the one that keep me close
If the room get hot
She the first to hold my name
Baby got a steady hand
And a heart that play no games

[Pre-Chorus]
When the night get mean
She don't blink for me
When my luck run thin
She come through for me
I don't ask too much
She already know the code
One look from her
And the whole block hold

[Chorus]
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
Then she kiss my cheek
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
My wild heart's on lease
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
And she love me deep
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
Baby, keep me clean

[Verse 2]
Saw her by the lowrider
Chrome gleam, sideway lean
She was countin' up the truth
In a lace black tee
No jewels on her neck
Just a scar and a grin
Said, "If you need me, baby
I'ma let you live"

She don't waste her breath
She don't play for free
But for me she soft
Like a secret in the sea
When I come home late
She got beans on the stove
And that little hard stare
That make my whole chest glow

[Pre-Chorus]
When the night get mean
She don't blink for me
When my luck run thin
She come through for me
I don't ask too much
She already know the code
One look from her
And the whole block hold

[Chorus]
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
Then she kiss my cheek
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
My wild heart's on lease
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
And she love me deep
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
Baby, keep me clean

[Bridge]
Under the moonroof, she says my name
Like a vow in the heat, like a match to flame
If the world want smoke, let it come my way
She stand right there and she don't sway
No pretty lie, no church bell ring
Just a woman built like a sharp-edged spring
If I fall too far, she pull me back
With a smile on her mouth and a hand on track

[Chorus]
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
Then she kiss my cheek
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
My wild heart's on lease
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
And she love me deep
She kill 4 me
She kill 4 me
Baby, keep me clean
