My Medicine Lyrics
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
You hurt when you sleep
And you sleep where you lie
Now your in deep and now your gonna cry
You got a woman th the left and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again
I'll drink what you leak
And smoke what you sigh
Straight across the room with a look in your eye
I got a man to the left and a girl to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again
There a tiger in the room and a baby in a closet
Pour another drink mom i don't even want it
Then I turn around and think i see someone that looks like you
You hurt when you sleep
And you sleep where you lie
Now your in deep and now your gonna cry
You got a woman th the left and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again, again
Somebody mixed my medicine
And you sleep where you lie
Now your in deep and now your gonna cry
You got a woman th the left and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again
And smoke what you sigh
Straight across the room with a look in your eye
I got a man to the left and a girl to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again
Pour another drink mom i don't even want it
Then I turn around and think i see someone that looks like you
And you sleep where you lie
Now your in deep and now your gonna cry
You got a woman th the left and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again, again

Tiger in the room and a baby in the closet? Somebody mixd up her drugs? Anybody seen the movie the hangover?! Not sure if its a reference or something but I think it's funy
@lemonylime Definitely a reference.

Favorite Pretty Reckless song. Love it. I honestly don't know what the writers vision was (who im guessing is Momsen) because we're not in their head, so all i can do is interpret it..
"There a tiger in the room and a baby in a closet Pour another drink mom i don't even want it"
I think it could be about an abusive family. The tiger being the father - wild, dangerous etc. Baby in the closet is the child, hiding Mom's an alcoholic.
I love this song. It kind of reminds me of The Hangover. Stupid, I know, but some of the lyrics are similiar to the plot of that movie. As for what it means, I don't know, but it's my favorite song of theirs thus far.
I thought the exact same thing.

that was my first thought too. i mean, tiger in the room, baby in the closet? it's pretty much exactly like that movie; drunken, confused, sweaty "what the hell is going on oh my god" and then you find out that they were all drugged up and didn't know it at the end? "somebody mixed my medicine."

To me this song is about a drug, maybe roofies, something leaving you confused and wondering what happened. The drug probably led to sex-"I'll drink what you leak"-and the next mornin she's somehwere she doesn't want to be and realizes that all of last night was a mistake.
It might be drugs, but i'm leaning more towards alchohol. Somebody mixed something in her drink when she wasn't paying attention and she is very confused and starts to see things. That's were the tiger and the baby come in.
I would definitely agree with EpicNight13 with it being about alcohol - I just saw The Pretty Reckless live two days ago on the 1st (that's where I first heard their music - I'm definitely a fan now) and she had spoke before this song came on... Saying, "So, who in the audience is drinking tonight? Well, this song goes out to all of you!" and then they played this.
I think it is about her sexuality maybe? About how shes all mixed up and how she is confused about if she likes girls or not, making her feel unsure. Like when she says ' got a man to his left and a girl to his right' I think it's about how she doesn't know which one to choose...does anybody else see it?
Before that, she says "a woman to your left and a boy to your right", so it really holds no relevance.

I think this song is about alcohol and drug addiction and also about taylor's drink getting spiked and her also taking dangerous drugs! It hints that taylor was probably addicted to drugs at some point in her life so far but I know taylor doesn't anyway! Anyway love the pretty reckless, love taylor momsen and love this awesome song!
Reminds me of Ramones' Somebody put something in my drink.
if you think about this song.. you listen closely and you've ever been addicted to Heroin you pick up the triggers the medicine is the boy the hurting where you lay is waking up sick half the time in the trap house if you pass out you'll be between any one ... the sleeping where you can part is the fact you sleep while you can so your not chasing but yeah i mean you can take lyric's how ever you want for any song . this song actually makes me sad having been there at least on the heroin addiction and seeing the way the world's becoming a heroin epidemic.
