The Worst Hangover Ever
♫The Offspring [2003 - Splinter] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Went out drinking late last night
I had a blast
But now the morning light has come
And kicked my ass

I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

And by my seventh shot
I was invincible
I would have never thought
I'd be this miserable

I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rolling back and forth on the bed
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

Won't someone just kill me
And put me out of my misery
I'm making deals with God, I'll do anything
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!

I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
I'll probably never drink again
I may not ever drink again

At least not 'til next weekend
I'm never gonna drink again

Went out drinking late last night
I went out and drank alcohol late last night

I had a blast
I had a great time and enjoyed myself

But now the morning light has come
It is now the morning and the sunlight is visible

And kicked my ass
But now I feel terrible and hungover

I've got the worst hangover ever
I am experiencing an extremely bad hangover

I'm crawling to the bathroom again
I am moving very slowly towards the bathroom due to feeling unwell

It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
The pain is so intense that I will never consume alcohol again

And by my seventh shot
After drinking seven shots of alcohol

I was invincible
I felt unbeatable and unstoppable

I would have never thought
I would never have guessed or anticipated

I'd be this miserable
That I would feel this bad and unhappy
