Hook Up Lyrics

Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down;
You've got too much talent.
I see you through those bloodshot eyes,
There's a cure, you'd found it.

Slow motion sparks, you caught that chill,
Now don't deny it.
But boys will be boys, oh yes, they will:
They don't wanna define it.

Just give up the game and get into me.
If you're lookin' for thrils,
Then get cold feet.

Oh, no.
I do not hook up, up.
I go slow.
So if you want me,
I don't come cheap.
Keep your thing in your pants,
Your heart on your sleeve.
Oh, no.
I do not hook up, up.
I fall deep.
Because the more that you try,
The harder I'll fight
To say goodnight.

I can't cook no, but I can clean--
Up the mess you left.
Lay your head down and feel the beat
As I kiss your forehead.
This may not last, but this is now,
So love the one you're with.
You wanna chase,
But you're chasin' your tail.
A quick fix won't ever
Get you well.

Because I feel the distance
Between us could be over
With a snap of your finger.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down,
Because you don't wanna miss out.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This has become one of my favorite songs after listening to it for awhile. This song is obvious my favorite lyric is "This may not last, but this is now, So love the one you're with. You wanna chase, But you're chasin' your tail. A quick fix won't ever Get you well." I love this because every guy that ive met has always tried to get with me and has always pushed me further into something I didn't want so I think this song explains what I would want rather than what I have had.
