Lyrics

Side Effects of You

[Verse 1]

I was looking for a cure to pull me through

Try to decide which medicine to use

And every bottle has your name on the label

Doctor said you keep me stable

So now, I'm taking three a day to help me smile

They said I should wait and try it for a while

So I've been ignoring my symptoms

And the small print on the back of my prescription

What I'm gonna do is

[Hook]

Fever over 98, you hold me and my body shakes

Nobody told me, nobody told me

The side effects of you

Losing balance, falling down

Sleepless nights whenever you're around

Nobody told me, nobody told me

The side effects of you

The side effects of you

[Verse 2]

I double checked the recommended dose

Cause recently my headaches getting worse

Sometimes every part of me is shaking

Is this the right pill that I'm taking

What I'm gonna do is

[Hook]

Fever over 98, you hold me and my body shakes

Nobody told me, nobody told me

The side effects of you

Losing balance, falling down

Sleepless nights whenever you're around

Nobody told me, nobody told me

The side effects of you

The side effects of you

[Bridge]

You're supposed to take away the pain

But it hurts the same

And it's getting harder

I thought you were taking care of me

But I can't breathe

And it's getting harder

[Hook]

Fever over 98, you hold me and my body shakes

Nobody told me, nobody told me

The side effects of you

Losing balance, falling down

Sleepless nights whenever you're around

Nobody told me, nobody told me

The side effects of you

The side effects of you

[Outro]

The side effects of you

Baby, the side effects of you
