[Intro]
Uh-huh
The morning after

[Verse 1]
It didn't hit me until the morning after
All eye remember was a kiss and then you were gone
And then I missed your smile, the sound of your laughter
And now I'm sleeping on the side you slept on

[Verse 2]
At first I felt the only reason you left me
Was the proposition that I spoke in your ear
I ain't a doctor but I know this ain't healthy
Instead of counting sheep, I'm counting tears

[Verse 3]
I coulda drove you home but you wouldn't let me
I didn't care how far, or if it was near
Ain't trying to push you because I know you just met me
I'm just wishing that you were here

[Verse 4]
I'm not the kind of man that's sad and lonely
It's just that something tells me your the one
Even if you love somebody else it's only
(You're the one)
Better if I get the chance the moment you're done
