  1. I met this girl late last year

  2. She said, "Don't you worry, if I disappear"

  3. I told her, "I'm not really looking for another mistake"

  4. I called an old friend thinking that the trouble could wait

  5. But then I jumped right in, a week later returned

  6. I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn

  7. But I gave her my time for two or three nights

  8. Then I put it on pause until the moment was right

  1. I went away for months until our paths crossed again

  2. She told me, "I was never looking for a friend

  3. Maybe you could swing by my room around ten

  4. Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin

  5. We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late a.m."

  6. Baby, if you wanted me, then you should have just said

  7. She's singing

  8. Don't - with my love

  9. That heart is so cold

  10. All over my home

  11. I don't wanna know that, babe

  12. Don't - with my love

  13. I told her, she knows

  14. Take aim and reload

  15. I don't wanna know that, babe

  16. And for a couple of weeks, I only want to see her

  17. We drink away the days with a takeaway pizza

  18. Before a text message was the only way to reach her

  19. Now she's staying at my place, and loves the way I treat her

  20. Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature

  21. And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either

  22. But me and her, we make money the same way

  23. Four cities, two planes, the same day

  24. And those shows have never been what it's about

  25. But maybe we'll go together, and just figure it out

  26. I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch

  27. But we should get on the plane or we'll be missing it now

  28. Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out

  29. When she was kissing him, how I was confused about

  30. Now, she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing

  31. Don't - with my love

  32. That heart is so cold

  33. All over my home

  34. I don't wanna know that, babe

  35. Don't - with my love

  36. I told her, she knows

  37. Take aim and reload

  38. I don't wanna know that, babe

  39. On my hotel door

  40. I don't even know if she knows what for

  41. She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya

  42. Trust and respect is what we do this for

  43. I never intended to be next (get lost)

  44. But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all

  45. And I never saw him as a threat (get lost)

  46. Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course

  47. It's not like we were both on tour

  48. We were staying at the same f- hotel floor

  49. And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment

  50. But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different

  51. This is not the way you realise what you wanted

  52. It's a bit too much, too late, if I'm honest

  53. And all this time, God knows I'm singing

  54. Don't - with my love

  55. That heart is so cold

  56. All over my home

  57. I don't wanna know that, babe

  58. Don't - with my love

  59. I told her, she knows

  60. Take aim and reload

  61. I don't wanna know that, babe

  62. Don't - with my love

  63. That heart is so cold

  64. All over my home

  65. I don't wanna know that, babe

  66. Don't - with my love

  67. I told her, she knows

  68. Take aim and reload

  69. I don't wanna know that, babe

Don’t

I met this girl late last year

She said, "Don't you worry, if I disappear"

I told her, "I'm not really looking for another mistake"

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble could wait

But then I jumped right in, a week later returned

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn

But I gave her my time for two or three nights

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right

I went away for months until our paths crossed again

She told me, "I was never looking for a friend

Maybe you could swing by my room around ten

Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late a.m."

Baby, if you wanted me, then you should have just said

She's singing

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that, babe

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

And for a couple of weeks, I only want to see her

We drink away the days with a takeaway pizza

Before a text message was the only way to reach her

Now she's staying at my place, and loves the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either

But me and her, we make money the same way

Four cities, two planes, the same day

And those shows have never been what it's about

But maybe we'll go together, and just figure it out

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch

But we should get on the plane or we'll be missing it now

Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out

When she was kissing him, how I was confused about

Now, she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that, babe

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

On my hotel door

I don't even know if she knows what for

She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya

Trust and respect is what we do this for

I never intended to be next (get lost)

But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all

And I never saw him as a threat (get lost)

Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course

It's not like we were both on tour

We were staying at the same f- hotel floor

And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment

But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different

This is not the way you realise what you wanted

It's a bit too much, too late, if I'm honest

And all this time, God knows I'm singing

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that, babe

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that, babe

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe
