  • I wasn't gonna drink tonight, then I went to a bar
    I wasn't gonna start that fight but they pushed me way too far,
    And oooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh, you would never know,
    Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh, you would never know

    I wasn't gonna watch the game, now I'm shouting at the ball
    I checked my phone and saw your name, so I must of missed your call
    I wasn't gonna place that bet, but they said it'd take the fault
    Now my clothes smell like cigarettes, but I don't smoke at all,
    Oooooh, you would never know,
    Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh, you would never know

    Oooh, and I was out, having fun, and I was out of line
    When I thought I was staying young I was staying out in my mind
    Life is like an old cassette, that you can't rewind
    Now my clothes smell like cigarettes and it happens all the time
    Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh, you would never know,
    Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh, you would never know

    love and sex and TV sets, we never left my room
    I used to speak of old regrets, maybe I spoke too soon
    I thought that I did my best, now I know that isn't true
    Coz my clothes smell like cigarettes, and they used to smell like you

    Uh, hey etc etc
    (Used to smell like you)
    Hey, used to smell like you heyy-yeah
    (Used to smell like you)
    Hey yeah

    What happened, what happened oh-ho-oh

    I thought I did my best, now I know that isn't true
    Now my clothes smell like cigarettes, when they used to smell like you Writer/s: DANIEL MERRIWEATHER, JORDAN GALLAND
