Love Is Trippy

A third party at a table for two

I'm sorry I don't mean to intrude

But it was me and you before you met her

And all the love songs you wrote for me

(You) stuck her name where mine used to be

But my name in them fit the rhythm better

I'd go if you had a ride

And I'd smoke if you had a light

And I fall every time for this

But love is trippy like that

Sometimes you think that you've got it

Nobody's gonna trick you outta this one, baby

But love will slip through your hands

You never know how to hold it

Control it, you're gripping

It's tripping you up

Says the woman who sings at the bar

This is for you, you know who you are

I was you once, looking for someone I never found

She paints in a low smoky voice

Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys

And how they stood her up just to let her down

She'd win if you were the prize

(She) gives in to all of your lies

She falls every time for this

But love is trippy like that

Sometimes you think that you've got it

Nobody's gonna trick you outta this one, baby

But love will slip through your hands

You never know how to hold it

Control it, you're gripping

It's tripping you up

For all of the girls who feel like they're overdressed

Undersexed, starving for yesses or maybes

Tired of always being ignored

He might see the available chair

Beside me, the invitation is there

But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for

I'd go if you had a ride

I'd smoke if you had a light

I fall every time for this

But love is trippy like that

Sometimes you think that you've got it

Nobody's gonna trick you outta this one, baby

But love will slip through your hands

You never know how to hold it

Control it, you're gripping

It's tripping you up
