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
