Sober (One Take)

I'm not feeling great
Take me home, baby
That's what you said to me
And I watched that bottle of whiskey go down

I said, you don't need to drink
Please stop telling me what to think
Or what to do
I love you
And other things you say

I'm just saying
I'm not trying to be your mother
Oh, I like you better when you're sober
I know that you only love me when your glass is half full
Oh, I like you better when you're sober

It burns the way I imagine all that alcohol does
To hear the man you love
Tell you things he wouldn't say to you in the morning
Please put the bottle down
And talk to me like you used to do
I like you better when you're sober

I'm just saying
I'm not trying to be your mother
No, I like you better when you're sober
I know that you only love me when your glass is half full
Oh, I like you better when you're sober

So, honey, please tell me
Is it just the booze talking
Or do you love me as much as you say you do
You turn cocky
And ignorant
And you're the opposite of yourself

Oh I like you better when you're sober

So I'm just saying
I'm not trying to be your mother
No, I like you better when you're sober
I know that you only love me when your glass is half full
Oh, I like you better when you're sober

And I wish you'd love me when you're sober
