I Can't Stop Drinking About You
Bebe Rexha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one's gonna care like I do
And I can feel it in the way that you breathe
I know you dream of her while you sleep next to me
I can't stop drinking about you
I gotta numb the pain
I can't stop drinking about you
So pour a shot in my glass and I'll forget forever! (Wow oh)
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better! (Wow oh)
Darlin' tell me what more can I do?
Don't you know that I was meant for you?
You say I feel like heaven on earth,
But you'd never know what heaven was if it wasn't for her
I can't stop drinking about you
I gotta numb the pain
I can't stop drinking about you
Without you I ain't the same
So pour a shot in my glass and I'll forget forever! (Wow oh)
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better! (Wow oh)
I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you)
I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you) (Without you I ain't the same)
No one's gonna love you like I do (I do, do, do, do, do, do)
I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you)
I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you) (Without you I ain't the same)
So pour a shot in my glass and I'll forget forever! (Forever)
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better! (Wow)
No one's gonna love you like I do

The third verse repeats the chorus, emphasizing her struggle with alcohol and her inability to let go.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Can't Stop Drinking About You" showcases the pain of a failed relationship and the singer's inability to move on, and how she turns to alcohol to numb the pain.

There's no such thing as 'old Bebe' and 'new Bebe'; there's just Bebe.
Whether or not you like her newer stuff, she's an artist with the right to explore and experiment as she sees fit. She's making the music for herself, not for anyone else. Experimentation is what makes Music such an amazing creative outlet. Bebe is a talented musician, and I support her journey!

I totally agree with you. I will always support Bebe no matter what. She is one of a kind.❤️❤️❤️
