"You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk" adalah sebuah lagu ikonik oleh duo pop elektronik Inggris, Pet Shop Boys. Lagu ini membahas tema keraguan dan manipulasi dalam suatu hubungan. Liriknya yang lugas dan menghancurkan menggambarkan narator yang menghadapi pengakuan cinta yang tidak tulus dari pasangannya, yang tampaknya hanya diucapkan ketika mereka berada di bawah pengaruh alkohol. Lagu ini mengeksplorasi dinamika yang tidak sehat dan menyedihkan dari cinta bersyarat, memicu refleksi yang mendalam pada sifat cinta sejati dan kehancuran yang disebabkan olehnya.
You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk Lyrics
Pet Shop Boys
What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood chances
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn
And silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
It's better than nothing I suppose
Some doors have openend
Others closed
But I couldn't see you exposes
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said listen don't you know
What you're missing
You should be kissing him instead of
dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
You only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
All of my friends
Keep asking me why, oh why
Do you not say goodbye
If you don't even try you'll be sunk
'Cause you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
What's the meaning
When you speak with so much feeling
Is it over when you're sober
Is it junk
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
You only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
Should I react or turn off the light
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood chances
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn
And silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
It's better than nothing I suppose
Some doors have openend
Others closed
But I couldn't see you exposes
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said listen don't you know
What you're missing
You should be kissing him instead of
dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
You only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
All of my friends
Keep asking me why, oh why
Do you not say goodbye
If you don't even try you'll be sunk
'Cause you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
What's the meaning
When you speak with so much feeling
Is it over when you're sober
Is it junk
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
You only tell me you love me
When You're drunk
