[English]

I don't smoke cigarettes

but I know you like to

So I face an

entire pack

Just to be there with you

And i never fall for girls

But you got me trippin'

...

Running your hand through my curls

All my worries missin'

Don't know if it's the Hennessy

That's got you in your honesty

Oh, I just hope you still mean

What you said, when the sun comes up

Oh, I hope it's not the alcohol

That makes me think I want it all

Oh, I just hope I still

mean what I say when the night is up

Will I want you when I'm sober

Sober, sober

Will I want you when it's over

Over, over

Will you want me when you're sober

Sober, sober

Will you want me when it's over

Over, over

Late night up in the hills

Wish this would last forever

Thinking I want this real-

Feelings can't be measured

Don't know if it's the Hennessy

That's got you in your honesty

Oh, I just hope you still mean what you say

When the sun comes up

Oh, I hope it's not the alcohol

That makes me think I want it all

Oh, I just hope I still mean what I say

When the night is up

Will I want you when I'm sober

Sober, sober

Will I want you when it's over

Over, over

Will you want me when you're sober

Sober, sober

Will you want me when it's over

Over, over

Morning comes

Will you still want me to stay

To stay

To stay

Will I want you when I'm sober

Sober, sober

Will I want you when it's over

Over, over

Will you want me when you're sober

Sober, sober

Will you want me when it's over

Over, over

Yeah, sober
