KARAOKE
James Arthur Song Lyrics

When I look into your eyes

I see the cracks beneath the waterline

There's damage from your former life

He clipped your wings, but we'll relearn to fly

Oh, you're still dancing with his demons

You do your best to keep it secret

If I can help you find your freedom

I'll deliver you from evil

Because you're all I ever needed

Now watch the devil get defeated.

I want you sweet, I want you sour, I want what they've never seen

I want your drunken karaoke, want you singing 'jolene'

Then we'll carve our names in the bathroom stall

And if it ain't that kinda love, then I don't want it at all

I want you dancing on the table, want you making a scene

I want you acting like a nightmare while you look like a dream

Then you pull me close in the bathroom stall

Say, if it ain't this kinda love, then you don't want it at all.

Still when I look into your eyes

I see the residue of all his lies

Someone that I don't recognise

You look so beautiful with no disguise

Oh, lord, have mercy if I see him

Forgive me, god, I'll be a heathen

Baby, I'm going off the deep end

'cause when you told me he was screaming

You were crying, heavy breathing

I just can't sleep, I can't unsee it

Want you to know you weren't the reason, oh...

I want you sweet, I want you sour, I want what they've never seen

I want your drunken karaoke, want you singing 'jolene'

Then we'll carve our names in the bathroom stall

And if it ain't that kinda love, then I don't want it at all

I want you dancing on the table, want you making a scene

I want you acting like a nightmare while you look like a dream

Then you pull me close in the bathroom stall

Say, if it ain't this kinda love, then you don't want it at all.

I want your love forevermore

We'll carve our names in the bathroom stall

If it ain't

If it ain't

And if it ain't that kinda love, then I don't want it at all.

'Please leave a message'.

'Alright, son?

Hope you're okay

I thought I would leave you a wee message

'cause I know you're busy

I've just listened to your album

It's brilliant

But thought it was a wee bit sad and it's gon' be great

Listen, just a wee suggestion, son

But I think you need one of these songs that kicks you right in the fucking c...'.
