Allen, Kris - Monster Lyrics






Just when you had me down
I go changing my ways
And I wait till the moon is out
It's just part of my game

This is a cautionary cry to you
Before you figure out what I've been turned into

Just close your eyes and try to think it over
You realize I'm not the man you know, girl
I hypnotize ya
I paralyze ya
Go on and scream 'cause nobody's gonna find ya

Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me

I've been telling you to run away
But you say you're not scared
But when I break your heart some day
Girl you need to be prepared

So listen close I got a dirty little secret
The kind that takes away the air you try to breathe in
You won't believe it
Until you feel it
If your love is blind I guess that's why you didn't see it

Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me

Well you don't know
What I know
And you don't know
What I know
That you're not safe
Woo hoo
Woo hoo

Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me

Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me

Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?

Allen, Kris Monster Comments
  1. H.... K....

    I love Kris Allen and this song is so so so so amazing

  2. i.... ....

    So this is basically a villain song...

  3. B.... B....

    This sounds pretty good sped up too.

  4. A.... ....

    OMG THIS SONG WAS SO FREAKING GOOD AND IT WOULD KILL AS THE LEAD SINGLE FROM THIS ALBUM. THEY BOTH WOU OF GO NUMBER 1.

  5. D.... B....

    This song is 10x better live

    D.... B....

    You're right! This song was SOOOOO damn good when I saw him perform the other day!

    D.... B....

    +Danielle Brown I literally came here to say that. It sounds amazing live.

  6. D.... G....

    I really like you Kris, but this song is SO not you, it's practically a family joke.  Sure, you can pull it off, but that doesn't mean you *should*.  Stick to songs that reflect who you are and leave the so-so storytelling to musical theater and bad country music.

    D.... G....

    +Tatesa Spirit Yes, I know that's sort of the idea behind the song, but that theory only holds if it really is another side of the person, and everything about his work and persona clearly indicate it's not the case. It's like someone thought he should try to be edgy and it just doesn't work for him. It's a cool enough song, but it's definitely not him. It's one of the few inauthentic moments from any of his albums.

    And anyway, why would anyone actually WANT this to be a side of them?? The character in the song is a terrible person.

    D.... G....

    +Tatesa Spirit Yeah, it's just not that beautiful or even that original. (Also, that's not what the lyric actually is.)

    And again, that whole persona goes against everything about his image. That's exactly my point. It's totally out of character for his entire career to be like, hey, everyone fantasizes about being a terrible person, go right ahead! Not even. It's not about fantasizing about being bad, it's about actually being bad. I'm glad he didn't try to explore this line further in his next album.

    D.... G....

    +Tatesa Spirit It's good to be nice! That's sort of what I've been saying all along, ha ha. But it's not good to yell at people, so that's not cool. Anyway, I wasn't really trying to argue (I posted my thoughts and someone came along and argued with *me*, remember?). Of course you're totally entitled to your opinion on a lyric and how a song makes you feel, I'm just talking about what the song actually *means* (and what it means coming from an artist with a body of work like Kris's). I said it wasn't a fantasy because in the lyrics it's telling a story like it's really happening, that's all.

    No worries, it's not that important, just something that I think is kind of silly coming from Kris. It's like all his other songs are warm and fuzzy and a little hippie and very genuine and then this song comes on and I kind of roll my eyes because one of these things is not like the others.

    Have a good one.

  7. N.... 1....

    This guy need more fucking attention

  8. h.... ....

    Its my jam awww love it!

  9. A.... J....

    I don't watch American Idol, so I just found this guy and I love him! "New" music for 2014

  10. R.... W....

    I think I'll buy that album of his I saw in the music store today. Cannot resist.

  11. A.... ....

  13. M.... ....

    Oh my god, is this the most perfect Sterek song or what?
    /fangirling And his voice unf <3

  14. J.... ....

    Saw him perform this live last week. I had never heard this song before, but I absolutely fell in LOVE with it. I definitely want to cover it sometime. He sounded incredible live too. There is definitely a reason he won Idol.

  15. S.... N....

  16. K.... C....
