I don't recall what I was drinking
But after the third one I was gone
Seventeen and not really thinking
Just wanted something real strong
Room spinnin' round faster and faster
Drownin' in the midnight laughter
But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Like the morning after
I gave in to him completely
We made plans and we made love
But this world can cut a heart so deeply
And we both gave 'til we both gave up
And that night I lost everything that mattered
And I thought I couldn't get any sadder
But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Like the morning after
The morning after the storm
The morning after all the rain
When you wake up and you realize
That you'll never be the same
Oh I don't care what I'm drinking
Just give me something real strong
Room spinnin' round faster and faster
Drownin' in the midnight laughter
But nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Oh nothin' hits, nothin' hurts
Like the morning after
