You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

"You only tell me you love me when you're drunk" is a cover song by LorD and Master, originally by Pet Shop Boys from their Nightlife album. The song, echoing the country and western style, closely reflects the clear relationship issues of the title.

Lyrics

What a performance, tonight
Should I react or turn off the light
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent
As a monk

You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

It's better than nothing, I suppose
Some doors have opened and others closed
But I couldn't see you exposed
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said "listen, 
don't you know what you're missing
You should be kissing him instead of dissing him
Like a punk

You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

What's the meaning when you 
Speak with so much feeling
Is it over when you're sober
Is it junk?

You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
