(without music)
CHORUS
Just like a tattoo,
I can't get rid of you,
You're all up on me,
Why? I don't see.
And I ask you why,
But you lie.
Oh why'd you lie?
(music)
VERSE 1
It all started just ten days ago,
I saw that look in your eyes,
What are you thinking? I wanna know,
If it's love, then it's no surprise.
I've seen the way you look at me,
There's something in your glare,
What else could it be?
Other than a feeling right there.
BRIDGE
And oh,
Is there a hidden agenda?
Something you're not telling me.
Oh,
Thought I'd better remind ya,
The effect you have on me, oh.
CHORUS
Just like a tattoo,
I can't get rid of you,
You're all up on me,
Why? I don't see.
And I ask you why,
But you lie.
Oh why'd you lie?
You just say you're trying to impress your friends,
To prove them all wrong,
Cos they said, that you, wouldn't stand a chance,
With a guy like me.
But I think, I feel, I see what's behind your eyes,
There's a deep down love or lust,
Longing to be free.
But I can't get rid of you,
Just like a tattoo,
Just like a tattoo.
VERSE 2
I could feel something strong,
When you looked me up and down,
There's no way I can be wrong,
I've got my head facedown.
"It's crazy!" I think to myself,
This isn't what it seems,
But your gentle ways, your loving eyes,
Release my silent screams.
BRIDGE
And oh,
Is there a hidden agenda?
Something you're not telling me.
Oh,
Thought I'd better remind ya,
The effect you have on me, oh.
CHROUS
Just like a tattoo,
I can't get rid of you,
You're all up on me,
Why? I don't see.
And I ask you why,
But you lie.
Oh why'd you lie?
You just say you're trying to impress you friends,
To prove them all wrong,
Cos they said, that you, wouldn't stand a chance,
With a guy like me.
But I think, I feel, I see what's behind your eyes,
There's a deep down love or lust,
Longing to be free.
But I can't get rid of you,
Just like a tattoo,
Just like a tattoo.
M8
Oh it's true,
I love you too,
I can't deny that fact.
And oh,
I know you do,
We gotta interact.
(REPEAT)
Let's go...
(Hold "go" over chorus)
CHORUS
I'll always have you,
Just like a tattoo.

This is a take-off of Jordin Sparks' Tattoo, but only slightly, because I had this in my head, and then I listened to hers, and it doesn't really sound like it, but it's kinda based on that.

Tattoo,
your title drew me in, I must admit. Having found the lyrics, here. I will admit the flow works, though a little weaker in places. I too find the resident theme strong throughout the whole offering. I commend you for your efforts.
Best of Luck to you in your future writing.
Respectfully,
Silent Hawk

Yes, that is exactly the point, it is a take-off of Jordin Sparks' Tattoo, I must have forgotten to mention it in my notes. I really thought I did.

Ugh, no.
You did not mention that in your notes.
