Lyrics

Sober

[Verse 1]

When I look at you, it's like I've been baptised

It's so spiritual, like I've been sanctified

Oh, I'm drunk in love, and you're Beyoncé (Haha)

[Pre-Chorus]

(Hey) Let's get it on, all I gotta say is I, I, I, I

[Chorus]

I feel like a rolling stoner

Don't think I can keep my composure

Girl, until the night is over

I don't have a thought that is sober, yeah

[Verse 2]

Won't you take it off, and leave it all behind?

If you let me darling, I could ease your mind

Baby, making love with you is all I want, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, let's get it on, all I wanna say is I, I, I, I

[Chorus]

I feel like a rolling stoner (Ah-ah)

Don't think I can keep my composure (I don't think I)

Girl, until the night is over (Girl, until the night is over)

I don't have a thought that is sober (I don't have a thought)

[Bridge]

Heat me up like a soup, baby

Smoke me up till your pupils' crazy

Double vision, everybody singing in sync

R. Kelly, remix to Ignition

There are so many women, yeah, living in the minute

They're stripping in my living room

I wanna be with you

You're just different like Lana Del Rey

You could play me all day, like a video game (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Like a video game (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

All I've gotta say

[Chorus]

I feel like a rolling stoner (Yeah, yeah)

I've had too many Coca Cola's (I've had too many)

Living the la vida loca (Oh, living the la vida, yeah)

I don't have a thought that is sober (No, oh)

I feel like a rolling stoner (I feel like a)

Don't think I can keep my composure (Oh, I don't think I can keep my com-)

Girl, until the night is over (Oh, girl, until the night is over)

I don't have a thought that is sober (No, I don't have a thought, no, I don't have a thought)
