What a performance tonight Should I react or turn off the light? Looks like you're picking a fight In a blurring of wrong and right But how your mood changes You're a devil, now an angel Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk You only tell me you love me when you're drunk It's better than nothing, I suppose Some doors have opened, others closed But I couldn't see you exposed To the horrors behind some of those Somebody said, "Listen Don't you know what you're missing? You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk" You only tell me you love me when you're drunk You only tell me you love me when you're drunk All of my friends keep asking me "Why, oh, why? Do you not say goodbye? If you don't even try, you'll be sunk" 'Cause you only tell me you love me when you're drunk ♪ ♪ What's the meaning when you speak with so much feeling? Is it over when you're sober, is it junk? You only tell me you love me when you're drunk You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
