I Can't Love You When You're Sober

I can't love you when you're sober,
Can't hate you when you're high,
And when you show that crooked smile
I look past all the lies.

Can't help but delve into your mind
Reach for your fears like they were mine
And cradle you whilst doing lines -
Please let me hold you one more time.

Can't help but look inside your soul
And hope that you are wanting more
Than just another back-street whore
Or rough anal on kitchen floors.

I detest you when you're sober,
Won't obey you when you're high,
But you kiss in places I'll miss
And I can't say goodbye.

Won't bring myself to turn away
Pretend like you're not going to say
“I love you; let's have kids some day,”
Still with my heart you play.

Won't bring myself to jerk you off
When you feel low or just pissed off -
I have standards; yes, you can scoff,
And look the other way.

But I can love you when you're happy
Can see why I first fell
For the charmer who corrupts me,
Who will send me straight to Hell.

Because I love you for your brashness
I adore you for your sin
I cherish all your wicked ways
I love you, thick and thin.

But I can't love you if you're smoking
That good ol' Mary Jay,
Can't love you when you're drugged up,
And looking quite insane.

I can't love you when you're sober,
Can't hate you when you're high,
And when you show that crooked smile
I feel like I might die.
