Lyrics
- Album version
Cork's off, it’s on
The party’s just begun
I promise this
Drink is my Last one
I know I fucked up again
'Cause I lost my only friend
God forgive my sins
Don't leave me, I
Oh, I'd hate myself until I die
My heart would break without you
Might now awake without you
Been hurting low from living high for so long
I'm sorry and I love you
Stay with me, bell bottom blue
I keep on searching for an answer 'cause I need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
Need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
Toast one last puff
And two last regrets
Three spirits and
Twelve lonely steps
Up heaven's stairway to gold
Mine myself like coal
A mountain of a soul
Each day I cry
Oh, I feel so low from living high
My heart would break without you
Might now awake without you
Been hurting low from living high for so long
I'm sorry and I love you
Stay with me, bell bottom blue
I keep on searching for an answer 'cause I need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
I need you more than Dope
I need you more
Need you more
I need you more than Dope
- I Wanna Be With U (Live)
It’s off, it’s on
The party’s just begun
Take off, and run
Let’s celebrate the fun of being young
I don’t wanna grow up
I don’t wanna grow up
But when the lights come on
You lift me up, and I feel strong
I won’t be right without you
And I might break without you
I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and alone
I’ll write hit songs about you
No matter how we’ll get through
I’ll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love
And I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you…
Lights off, lights on
The music has begun
More light, you run, and get the bad guy’s gun
I love the songs that you play
And I don’t care what they say
Cause I was born this way
When I hear you scream, I hit the top of the stage and
Close my eyes, I know exactly who I am
I won’t be right without you
And I might break without you
I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and alone
I’ll write hit songs about you
No matter how we’ll get through
I’ll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love
And I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you…
I won’t be right without you
And I might break without you
I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and alone
I’ll write hit songs about you
No matter how we’ll get through
I’ll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love
And I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, wanna be …
No matter what breaks me, I wanna be, with you
