Candi Carpenter - Novels About Vampires

[Verse 1]
You picked me up in your mom's van
To see your heavy metal band
We said I love you on the phone
When nobody else was home
Makin' out to Evanescence
You made me a dolphin necklace
I was savin' myself for marriage
You were savin' me from my parents

[Chorus]
And I was always reading novels about vampires
I wanted a beautiful dead boy to show up at my door
I wanted you to drain the blood out of my body
And replace it with yours, yours, yours
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like in a vampire novel
Ooh

[Verse 2]
Your skin was pale, your eyes were red
You sold weed to the potheads
You felt me up behind the dumpsters
I never got the sex talk from my mother
I was ashamed, and I was repressed
I closed my eyes when I got undressed
You respected my religion
I broke up with you because you weren't a Christian

[Chorus]
And I was always reading novels about vampires
I wanted a beautiful dead boy to show up at my door
I wanted you to drain the blood out of my body
And replace it with yours, yours, yours
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like in a vampire novel
Ooh

[Bridge]
I said make me immortal
I'm allergic to sunlight
I promise I'll only eat the bad guys
I don't want to see myself in the mirror anymore

[Chorus]
And I was always reading novels about vampires
I wanted a beautiful dead boy to fly up to my window
I wanted you to drain the blood out of my body
And replace it with yours, yours, yours
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like in a vampire novel
Just like...
