Intro

Oh (Oh)

Verse 1

No smoke with no fireNo silence if there's no soundOne way or anotherYou're going to put me outDrinks flowing like waterToo drunk to turn off the lightStay under the covers (Oh)Who knows how we'll end the night

Pre-Chorus

Just don't hang your hopes on meI wanna feel somethingGod, you look so prettyWhen you tell me that you love me

Chorus

I wish that I could lieBut my mind gets in the wayI know you think that I'mAlways way too self-awareOh, we could never be togetherBut it's nice to play pretendI wish that I could lieBut I'm way too self-aware

Verse 2

Mood swings like the weatherBody's under pressureOh, I love the way you're using your imaginationLaws of attractionPut 'em into practice (Oh)

Pre-Chorus

Just don't hang your hopes on meI wanna feel somethingGod, you look so prettyWhen you tell me that you love me

Chorus

I wish that I could lieBut my mind gets in the wayI know you think that I'mAlways way too self-awareOh, we could never be togetherBut it's nice to play pretendI wish that I could lieBut I'm way too self-aware

Pre-Chorus

Just don't hang your hopes on meI wanna feel somethingGod, you look so prettyWhen you tell me that you love me (Oh)

Chorus

I wish that I could lieBut my mind gets in the wayI know you think that I'mAlways way too self-awareOh, we could never be togetherBut it's nice to play pretendI wish that I could lieBut I'm way too self-aware
