Love Hangover
Jason Der¨¹lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met her at a bar
The look she gave me said I wouldn't get far
But that ain't never stop me
See I like a challenge so I proceeded to speak
One drink turned into two drinks
And three drinks turned into dancing
And pretty soon her body was all up on me
When I woke up I saw her laying next to me

It was just a fling
But I really don't regret a thing
Cause it was crazy babe
And by the looks of it you feel the same
And all I remember is me saying
Give it to me then you came in
Now I'm smiling and I'm barely sober
I'm caught in a love hangover
Love hangover, love hangover

Don't you worry it's fine
See this will be our little dirty secret for life
Cause your man'll lose his mind
If he ever found out last night

One drink turned into two drinks
And three drinks turned into dancing
And pretty soon her body was all up on me
When I woke up I saw her laying next to me

It was just a fling
But I really don't regret a thing
Cause it was crazy babe
And by the looks of it you felt the same
And all I remember is me saying
Give it to me then you came in
Now I'm smiling and I'm barely sober
I'm caught in a love hangover

Now I didn't know
How far it would go
But I said I would have her
Now it's the morning after

It was just a fling
But I really don't regret a thing
Cause it was crazy babe
And by the looks of it you felt the same

And all I remember is me saying
Give it to me then you came in
Now I'm smiling and I'm barely sober
I'm caught in a love hangover
I'm caught in love hangover
I'm caught in love hangover




I'm caught in love hangover
Love hangover

Line by Line Meaning

I met her at a bar
I saw her for the first time at the bar


The look she gave me said I wouldn't get far
The expression on her face suggested that she wasn't interested in me


But that ain't never stop me
But that doesn't mean I gave up


See I like a challenge so I proceeded to speak
I enjoy facing a challenge, so I started talking to her


One drink turned into two drinks
We had one drink, and then we had another


And three drinks turned into dancing
After having the third drink, we started dancing


And pretty soon her body was all up on me
Gradually, she started getting physically close to me


When I woke up I saw her laying next to me
The next morning, I saw that she was lying next to me


It was just a fling
It was a casual, short-lived relationship


But I really don't regret a thing
But I have no regrets about it


Cause it was crazy babe
Because it was wild and exciting


And by the looks of it you feel the same
Judging by her actions, she seemed to feel the same way


And all I remember is me saying
I don't recall much, except for what I said


Give it to me then you came in
I asked for something, and then she appeared


Now I'm smiling and I'm barely sober
Now I'm happy, even though I'm still feeling the effects of alcohol


I'm caught in a love hangover
I'm stuck in the aftermath of a passionate night


Don't you worry it's fine
Don't worry, everything is okay


See this will be our little dirty secret for life
This will be our secret that we'll keep to ourselves forever


Cause your man'll lose his mind
Because your partner will become crazy if he finds out


If he ever found out last night
If he somehow found out about what happened last night


Now I didn't know
At that time, I wasn't aware


How far it would go
How far this relationship would progress


But I said I would have her
But I intended to pursue her


Now it's the morning after
Now it's the day after the passionate night


I'm caught in love hangover
I'm still feeling the effects of the passionate night


Love hangover
The aftermath and emotional hangover of a passionate night
