One night stands aren't that fun when it's the second one.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Can you remember
The first time we were together?
I woke up one morning, looked, and you were by my side.

My head is aching
Lord, your body's shaking
Don't know your name now, and I don't care, go ahead and lie.

Chorus:
We came for nothing
You’re always coming round for one thing
Don't you know the truth, my darling,
We were never ever sober.

I got this notion
We just going through the motions
So don't say a word now
Wake me when it's over.
Wake me when it's over...

Verse 2:
Take off that black dress
Don't you look a hot mess?
That look in your eyes tells me that you sure ain't having fun.

You say bring it to me quick
I just know you want it over with
I ain’t even turned out the lights and I wish we was done.

Chorus:
We came for nothing
You’re always coming round for one thing
Don’t you know the truth, my darling
We were never ever sober

I got this notion
We just going through the motions
So don’t say a word now
Wake me when it’s over

Bridge:
And I know that it’ll never be over
So stop me before I do it again

Verse 3:
Drink ‘til I can’t see you no more
Until I’m damn near on the floor
When I wake up I'll pretend you’re somebody else

You call me baby
I say you’re my lady
That's a lie, you know I can never love anymore more than myself

Chorus:
We came for nothing
Am I just waiting here for one thing?
Don’t you know the truth, my darling
We were never ever sober.

I got this notion
We just going through the motions
So don’t say a word now
Wake me when it’s over

Wake me when it’s over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
And it’s never ever over…
