This Shouldn’t Work Lyrics by RHODES

I’m Not Ok - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
You said I was unusual
A complicated man
I drink too much, mess things up
The kind of man you cannot stand
Oh-oh, we were high on something in the air
I think we listened to "Oh Mandy" by The Spinto Band

[Pre-Chorus]
We were lighting it up on an old single bed
You held out your hand with a lit cigarette
Wrapped your arms 'round my neck, pulled me down close
And now we're face to face

[Chorus]
I never knew I had love, now I know
I never knew I had love, now I know
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does

[Verse 2]
You said it was unusual
To kiss me laying down
Never gave your heart, I'm all locked out
Belong inside your arms
Ooh-ooh, I guess you did not think I'd understand
I think we listened to "Oh Mandy" by The Spinto Band

[Pre-Chorus]
We were lighting it up on an old single bed
You held out your hand with a lit cigarette
Wrapped your arms 'round my neck, pulled me down close
And now we're face to face

[Chorus]
I never knew I had love, now I know
I never knew I had love, now I know
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does

[Bridge]
So stay now, you're like no one else around
Hold me close, hold me close
So stay now, wrap your arms around me now
Hold me close, hold me close

[Chorus]
I never knew I had love
I never knew I had love, no
I never knew I had love
I never knew I had love, no
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
