Six Shots
Sam Smith Lyrics

Better with the lights on
The singer prefers to be in a well-lit environment

We can play my favorite song
The singer suggests playing their favorite song

Looking at me, take one shot, two shot
The singer encourages the listener to take a shot of alcohol while making eye contact with them

Hit deeper, taste sweeter
The more the listener drinks, the more pleasurable it becomes

Good but it feels wrong
The listener is enjoying themselves, but they also know that something is not quite right

I can last so long
The listener is able to endure and continue drinking for a long time

Looking at me, take three shot, four shot
The singer is continuing to urge the listener to drink more

Throat heat up, get sweeter
The listener's body is reacting to the alcohol, making the experience more enjoyable

It's so hard, babe, loving me
The artist acknowledges that it is difficult to love them due to their dark and lonely nature

I'm like a whiskey, you can feel it
The artist compares themselves to whiskey, implying that they are strong and intense

Hit so strong but taste so sweet
Although the singer is difficult to love, they are still desirable and alluring

There's no loving me, no way
The artist believes that they are unlovable

You say you need me, but you don't know me
The singer believes that the listener claims to need them, but they do not truly understand the singer

I'm the dark type, forever lonely
The singer characterizes themselves as someone who is always alone and surrounded by darkness

It's so hard, babe, loving me (it's so hard)
The singer repeats the previous statement to emphasize the difficulty of loving them

There's no loving me (if you love me, baby)
The artist challenges the listener to try and love them, knowing that it will be difficult to do so

There's no loving me (if you need me, baby)
The artist questions the listener's claim that they need them, implying that the listener does not truly understand the artist

Let your feelings go, you've been working so hard
The singer encourages the listener to let go of their emotions and relax

Put the week down
The singer suggests that the listener should forget about the stresses of the week

Pray in a space with me, hand on my heart now
The artist invites the listener to join them in prayer while placing their hand on the artist's heart

Oh, beat it up
The artist becomes more aggressive and intense

I know how to mix it up
The artist is confident in their ability to create a pleasurable experience

Let your body go with the slow as we grow with the weekend
The singer encourages the listener to let go and enjoy the weekend with them

Take five shots, six shots, oh
The artist continues to urge the listener to drink more alcohol

There's no loving me, no way, no way (no way)
The singer repeats the idea that they are unlovable

There's no loving me (no way)
The singer repeats the idea that they are unlovable

There's no loving me (no, no loving me)
The singer reminds the listener that there is no way to love them

There's no loving me, no way, no way
The artist repeats the idea that they are unlovable
