[English]

Come on, tell me do you want me

Do you need me like drugs need money

Tell me once more who's your love for?

What's your number when you're sober?

Clearly I'm not thinkin' clearly

When I'm, when I'm, with you, with you

Feels like time is movin' slower...

And then the music pulls us closer

...

Oh when I start to think it over

I realise

You never call me when you're sober

...

You never call me when you're sober

I realise

Clearly I'm not thinkin' clearly

When I'm, when I'm, with you, with you

Nearly Heaven when you're near me

Fallin', fallin', for you, for you

We're addicted to this feeling

When I'm, when I'm, with you, with you

Feels like time is movin' slower

And then the music pulls us closer

...

Oh when I start to think it over

I realise

You never call me when you're sober

...

You never call me when you're sober

I realise

You never call me when you're sober

Pour me one more, then another

Keep me love drunk

You never call me when you're sober

Pour me one more, then another

Keep me love drunk

Come on, tell me do you want me

Do you need me like drugs need money

Tell me once more who's your love for?

Love for, love for, love for...

You never call me when you're sober

Pour me one more, then another

Keep me love drunk

Pour me one more, then another

Keep me love drunk

You never call me when you're sober

Pour me one more, then another

Keep me love drunk

Pour me one more, then another

Keep me love drunk

...
