I Only Love You When I'm Drunk
Mika · The Origin Of Love [2012]
I had a dream last night I slept with someone else
Doesn't mean that I've cheated on you
It was amazing and I couldn't stop myself
Could it be that I really want to
What if the things we feel come on then what we do
Guess what lover, I'm leaving
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be that guy, look you in the face and lie
But someone has to say it first
Even if the words may hurt
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
Don't get me wrong last night I didn't changed my mind
It was the drink it was leading me by
And when I kissed you it was such a big mistake
A couple drinks, that's a chance I'll not take
And if I can't control all of the things I do
I guess I better be leaving
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be that guy, look you in the face and lie
But someone has to say it first
Even if the words may hurt
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
Darling I'm a little bit drunk but I know what I've got to do
Cause when I'll get a little more sober, I know I'll be over you
And I may be a little bit drunk but I know what I've got to do
Cause when I'll get a little more sober, I know I'll be over you
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk.
Doesn't mean that I've cheated on you
It was amazing and I couldn't stop myself
Could it be that I really want to
What if the things we feel come on then what we do
Guess what lover, I'm leaving
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be that guy, look you in the face and lie
But someone has to say it first
Even if the words may hurt
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
Don't get me wrong last night I didn't changed my mind
It was the drink it was leading me by
And when I kissed you it was such a big mistake
A couple drinks, that's a chance I'll not take
And if I can't control all of the things I do
I guess I better be leaving
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be that guy, look you in the face and lie
But someone has to say it first
Even if the words may hurt
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
Darling I'm a little bit drunk but I know what I've got to do
Cause when I'll get a little more sober, I know I'll be over you
And I may be a little bit drunk but I know what I've got to do
Cause when I'll get a little more sober, I know I'll be over you
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk
I only love you, I only love you, I only love you
Only love you, only love you when I'm drunk.
