Ah-la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la-la-la

I met this girl late last year
She said don’t you worry if I disappear
I told her I’m not really looking for another mistake
I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait

But then I jump right in
A week later return
I reckon¹ she was only looking for a lover² to burn
But I gave her my time for two or three nights
Then I put it on pause³ until the moment was right

I went away for months until our paths crossed again
She told me I was never looking for a friend
Maybe you could swing by my room around 10
Baby bring a lemon and a bottle of gin
We’ll be in between the sheets until the late AM
Baby if you wanted me then you should’ve just said
She’s singing
Ah-la-la-la-la

Don’t f*ck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don’t wanna know that babe
Ah-la-la-la-la
Don’t f*ck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don’t wanna know that babe
Ah-la-la-la-la

For a couple weeks I
Only want to see her
We drink away the days with a take away pizza
Before a text message was the only way to reach her
Now she’s staying at my place and loves the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha
All over the track⁴ like a feature
Never wants to sleep I guess that I don’t want to either
But me and her we make money the same way
Four cities, two planes the same day

Those shows have never been what it’s about
But maybe we’ll go together and just figure it out
I’d rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch⁵
But we should get on a plane
Or we’ll be missing⁶ it now

Wish I’d have written it down
The way that things played out
When she was kissing him how
I was confused⁷ about
She should figure it out while I’m sat here singing
Ah-la-la-la-la

Don’t f*ck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don’t wanna know that babe
Ah-la-la-la-la
Don’t f*ck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don’t wanna know that babe
Ah-la-la-la-la

*Knock knock knock*
On my hotel door
I don’t even know if she knows what for
She was crying on my shoulder
I already told ya
Trust and respect is what we do this for

I never intended to be next
But you didn’t need to take him to bed that’s all
And I never saw him as a threat⁸
Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course

It’s not like we were both on tour
We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
And I wasn’t looking for a promise or commitment⁹
But it was never just fun and I thought you were different
This is not the way you realize what you wanted
It’s a bit too much, too late if I’m honest
All this time God knows I’m singing
Ah-la-la-la-la

Don’t f*ck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don’t wanna know that babe
Ah-la-la-la-la
Don’t f*ck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don’t wanna know that babe
Ah-la-la-la-la
