Can't Stop Drinking About You
Otto Knows Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one's gonna love you like I do
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

Without you I ain't the same
So pour a shot in my glass and I'll forget forever
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better

I can't stop drinking about you

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
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better

I can't stop drinking about you

I can't stop drinking about you
I can't stop drinking about you
