This Shouldn't Work

(album: I'm Not Ok - 2020)

You said I was unusual
A complicated man
I drink too much, mess things up
The kind of man you cannot stand
Ooh, we were high on something in the air
I think we listened to 'Oh Mandy' by The Spinto Band

We were lighting it up on a low single bed
You held out your hand with a lit cigarette
Wrapped your arms 'round my neck, pulled me down close
And now we're face to face

I never knew I had love, now I know
I never knew I had love, now I know
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does

You said it was unusual
To kiss me laying down
Never gave your heart, I'm all locked out
Alone inside your arms
Ooh, I guess you did not think I'd understand
I think we listened to 'Oh Mandy' by The Spinto Band

We were lighting it up on a low single bed
You held out your hand with a lit cigarette
Wrapped your arms 'round my neck, pulled me down close
And now we're face to face

I never knew I had love, now I know
I never knew I had love, now I know
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does

So stay now, you're like no one else around
Hold me close, hold me close
So stay now, wrap your arms around me now
Hold me close, hold me close

I never knew I had love
I never knew I had love, no

I never knew I had love
I never knew I had love, no

I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
