[Verse 1]
Half of love is still love
You beg the dawn to ease you in
Pass the time a thousand ways
In the dump, you'll find love
Half the time, I feel sad
And any kind of love will do
But it’s a job, don't know if that's the dream
In a style that’s insincere

[Pre-Chorus]
For a six-dollar coffee
And municipal parking
And Disney on Ice
I wish I was joking
I wish I was joking

[Chorus]
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)

[Verse 2]
Here's the thing about drugs
They'll sink your mind and steal your friends
You kiss the sky below the bed
You get in the car, but don't go
I'm kinda into being home
It's the time for love affairs
'Cause now and then, I can't tell right from wrong
You talk me down, you raise thе dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody calls me "the gangstеr of love" (Gangster of love)
At six in the morning
A new day is dawning
I wish I was joking

[Chorus]
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)
I wish I was joking (I wish I was joking)

[Outro]
Half of love (is joking)
Half of love is still love
