I Love Me Some You

[Verse 1]
Coffee in your old gray mug
Lipstick print still there
You’re humming around this tiny place
Like you ain’t aware
That every little leftover
Your jacket on that chair
Turns this busted-up apartment
To a palace in the air
[Chorus]
I love me some you
More than I ought to
More than the midnight
More than the truth
I tried loving whiskey
I tried loving my bruises
But nothing ever fits me
Like I love me some you
[Verse 2]
You talk about your busted past
Like it’s just small talk
Folding up your heartbreak
Taking it for a walk
And I ain’t got an easy way
To promise I’ll be kind
But I can hold your shaking hands
While you’re holding mine
[Chorus]
I love me some you
More than I ought to
More than the midnight
More than the truth
I tried loving whiskey
I tried loving my bruises
But nothing ever fits me
Like I love me some you
[Bridge]
Keep your money
Keep your shine
Leave your suitcase
Take your time
If you ever think
You’ve got nothing to lose
Come lose it here
Baby
‘cause I love me some you
[Chorus]
I love me some you
More than I ought to
More than the midnight
More than the truth
I tried loving whiskey
I tried loving my bruises
But nothing ever fits me
Like I love me some you
