You only tell me you love me when you´re drunk

You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You´re Drunk
(Neil Tennant/Chris Lowe)

What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you´re picking a fight
in a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You´re a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn
and silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me when you´re drunk

It´s better than nothing, I suppose
some doors have opened, others closed
but I couldn´t see you exposed
to the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said: listen
don´t you know what you're missing?
You should be kissing him
instead of dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love
me when you´re drunk
You only tell me you love me
when you´re drunk

All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh, why do you not say goodbye?
If you don´t even try you´ll be sunk
´cause you only tell me you
love me when you´re drunk

What´s the meaning when you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you´re sober?
Am I junk?
You only tell me you love me
when you´re drunk
You only tell me you love me
when you´re drunk
