I Liked You Better - Lyrics

 

Lyrics

You light my smoke and bat your eyes

I barely recognize your face,

Something has changed...

It's not your lips or your hair,

It's not the style of clothes you wear

It's all there

You're telling me that nothing's changed

There's only one way to explain

I liked you better when I was drinkin'

I liked you better when I was drunk

Tearin' up the town

Like a New York punk

I liked you better when I was drunk.

We used to roll around all night long

With nothin' on our minds

And so much to say

But I'm like a pair of old Levi's

At a black-tie dance with a socialite

And bloodshot eyes

I'm lookin’ high, I'm lookin’ low

I'll tell you what I know

[chorus]

I liked you better, what was I thinking?

Guess we were havin' too much fun

Screamin' out loud and talkin' in tongues

I liked you better when I was drinkin'

I liked you better when I was drunk

Tearin' up the town

Like a New York punk

I liked you better, so much better

I liked you better

When I was drunk
