Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Turn the lights out
This shit's way too fucking bright
Why not poke my eyes out if you wanna mess with my eyesight?
Just let me get my head right
[Pre-Chorus]
Where the Hell am I?
Who are you?
What'd we do last night?
Hey, yeah, yeah
Who are you?
What'd we do last night?
Hey, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Can't remember what I did last night
Maybe I shouldn't've given in, but I just couldn't fight
Hope I didn't, but I think I might've
Everything, everything is still a blur
Can't remember what I did last night
Everything, everything is still a blur
Can't remember what I did last night
Everything, everything is still a blur
[Verse 2]
What's your name, man?
Can you calmly hand me all my things?
I think I need an aspirin
Better yet, I need to get up outta here
I gotta get my head right
[Pre-Chorus]
Where the Hell am I?
Who are you?
What'd we do last night?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Can't remember what I did last night
Maybe I shouldn't've given in, but I just couldn't fight
Hope I didn't, but I think I might've
Everything, everything is still a blur
Can't remember what I did last night
Everything, everything is still a blur
Can't remember what I did last night
Everything, everything is still a blur
[Bridge]
What happened last night?
'Cause I, 'cause I don't remember
What happened?
[Chorus]
Can't remember what I did last night
Maybe I shouldn't've given in, but I just couldn't fight
Hope I didn't, but I think I might've
Everything, everything is still a blur
Can't remember what I did last night (Blur)
Everything, everything is still a blur
Can't remember what I did last night
Everything, everything is still a blur
