Lyrics to Side Effects

[Verse 1]

I got your text saying you and him were over

Between the cussing and the spellin', I figured you weren't sober

So I'm here with a shoulder

As friends don't let friends drink alone

Love's like a pill

You had a bad reaction

Got you real high

Now that heartache that you're having's



[Chorus]

Just side effects

Might lead to smoking whole packs of cigarettes

Throwin' back shots of Johnnie Walker Red

Waking up with strangers layin' in your bed

If love came with a warning label

It would say it's potentially fatal

'Cause it's ugly crying and drunk dialing your ex

And that's just some kind of the side effects



[Verse 2]

Right now you're saying "Screw that guy"

But let me tell you honey, by the end of the night

You'll be too drunk to drive

And calling him to take you home

Let me buy you a round and I'll get you a cab

Girl we've all been there, yeah I know I have



[Chorus]

That's just the side effects

Might lead to smoking whole packs of cigarettes

Throwin' back shots of Johnnie Walker Red

Waking up with strangers layin' in your bed

If love came with a warning label

It would say it's potentially fatal

'Cause it's ugly crying and drunk dialing your ex

And that's just some kind of the side effects



[Bridge]

Mascara running and blood-shot eyes (Side effects)

Feelin' like you're gonna die (Side effects)

Do a lot things that you'll regret

Like one-last-time break-up sex



[Chorus]

Side effects

Might lead to smoking whole packs of cigarettes

Throwin' back shots of Johnnie Walker Red

Waking up with strangers layin' in your bed

If love came with a warning label

It would say it's potentially fatal

'Cause it's ugly crying and drunk dialing your ex

And that's just some kind of the side effects

You're done with love? That's something we've all said

But that's just one of the side effects

Side effects
