Love hangover night and day
Love hangover night and day

If there's a cure for this
I don't want it, I don't want it
If there's a remedy
I'll run from it, I'll run from it
Think about you all the time
Never let you out of my mind
'Cause I love you

Sweetest hangover
I don't wanna get over
I've got the sweetest hangover
I don't want it, don't want it
Don't want it

Love hangover night and day
Love hangover night and day

If there's a cure for this
I don't want it, I don't want it
If there's a remedy
I'll run from it, I'll run from it

I think about you all the time
Never let you out of my mind
'Cause I love you

Sweetest hangover
I don't wanna get over
I've got the sweetest hangover
I don't want it, don't want it

Don't call the doctor
Don't call the preacher
I don't want it, I don't want it





Love hangover night and day
Love hangover night and day
