[Verse 1]
I am drunk and on a ladder
Not the smartest way to start my night
You said I'd conquer my vertigo
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie
And when we got up to the roof
You opened a little flask of gin
Like idiots, we both fell asleep there
Until the sun came up again

[Chorus]
I do the dumbest things for you
Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
I almost broke my collar bone
I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known

[Verse 2]
We both went out to the party
Down along Great Western Road
You told the drunks I knew karate
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie
They chased us through the city center
They chased us out to the East End
We had to hide behind the supermarket
Until the sun came up again
[Chorus]
I do the dumbest things for you
Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
I would be safer on my own
I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known

[Verse 3]
And we just missed the last bus home
So we walked it, fueled by adrenaline
And when I said that I could do it all again
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie
Your plans to make it big and conquer
Would put Napoleon to shame
I'm in a coma on the sofa
Until the sun goes down again

[Chorus]
I do the dumbest things for you
Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
I would be safer on my own
I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known
I do the dumbest things for you
Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
I would be safer on my own
I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known
