  • Oh

    (Oh) no smoke with no fire
    No silence if there's no sound
    One way or another
    You're going to put me out
    Drinks flowing like water
    Too drunk to turn off the light
    Stay under the covers
    (Oh) who knows how we'll end the night

    Just don't hang your hopes on me
    I wanna feel something
    God, you look so pretty
    When you tell me that you love me

    I wish that I could lie
    But my mind gets in the way
    I know you think that I'm
    Always way too self-aware
    Oh, we could never be together
    But it's nice to play pretend
    I wish that I could lie
    But I'm way too self-aware

    Mood swings like the weather
    Body's under pressure
    Oh, I love the way you're using your imagination
    Laws of attraction
    Put 'em into practice

    (Oh) just don't hang your hopes on me
    I wanna feel something
    God, you look so pretty
    When you tell me that you love me

    I wish that I could lie
    But my mind gets in the way
    I know you think that I'm
    Always way too self-aware
    Oh, we could never be together
    But it's nice to play pretend
    I wish that I could lie
    But I'm way too self-aware

    Just don't hang your hopes on me
    I wanna feel something
    God, you look so pretty
    When you tell me that you love me

    (Oh) I wish that I could lie
    But my mind gets in the way
    I know you think that I'm
    Always way too self-aware
    Oh, we could never be together
    But it's nice to play pretend
    I wish that I could lie
    But I'm way too self-aware Writer/s: Aviv Barenholtz, Chen Kordova, Eytan Peled
