My Medicine

The Pretty Reckless · Light Me Up [2010]

Somebody mixed my medicine

Somebody mixed my medicine



You hurt where you sleep

And you sleep where you lie

Now you're in deep and

now you're gonna cry

You got a woman to your left

and a boy to your right

Start to sweat so hold me tight



Somebody mixed my medicine

I don't know what I'm on

Somebody mixed my medicine

But baby it's all gone

Somebody mixed my medicine

Somebody's in my head again

Somebody mixed my medicine again, again



I'll drink what you leak

And I'll smoke what you sigh

Straight across the room with a look in your eye

I got a man to his left and a girl to his right

Start to sweat so hold me tight



Somebody mixed my medicine

I don't know what I'm on

Somebody mixed my medicine

But baby it's all gone

Somebody mixed my medicine

Somebody's in my head again

Somebody mixed my medicine again, again



There's a tiger in the room

and a baby in the closet

Pour another drink mom

I don't even want it

Then I turn around and think I see

someone that looks like you



You hurt where you sleep

You sleep where you lie

Now you're in deep and

now you're gonna cry

You got a woman to your left

and a boy to your right

Start to sweat so hold me tight



Somebody mixed my medicine

I don't know what I'm on

Somebody mixed my medicine

But baby it's all gone

Somebody mixed my medicine

Somebody's in my head again

Somebody mixed my medicine

again (x8)



Somebody mixed my medicine (x3)

Somebody's in my head again

Somebody mixed my medicine

again (x3)
