I Liked You Better Lyrics

You light my smoke and bat your eyes
I barely recognize your face,
something has changed...
It's not your lips or your hair,
it's not the style of clothes you wear
it's all there
you're telling me that nothing's changed
there's only one way to explain
I liked you better when I was drinkin'
I liked you better when I was drunk
tearin' up the town
like a New York punk
I liked you better when I was drunk.
We used to roll around all night long
with nothin' on our minds
and so much to say
but I'm like a pair of old Levi's
at a black tie dance with a socialite
and bloodshot eyes
I'm lookin high, I'm lookin low
I'll tell you what I know

[chorus]
I liked you better, what was I thinking?
guess we were havin' too much fun
screamin' out loud and talkin' in tongues
I liked you better when I was drinkin'
I liked you better when I was drunk
tearin' up the town
like a New York punk
I liked you better, so much better
I liked you better
when I was drunk
