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
