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.

An 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.
