A third party at a table for two
I'm sorry I don't mean to intrude
But it was me and you before you met her
All the live songs you wrote for me
You stuck her name where mine used to be
But my name in them fit the rhythm better

I'd go if you had a ride
I'd smoke if you had a light
I fall every time for this

But love is trippy like that
Sometimes you think that you've got it
Nobody's gonna trick you
Outta this one, baby
But love will slip through your hands
You never know how to hold it
Control it you're gripping
It's tripping you up

Says the woman who sings at the bar
This is for you, you know who you are
I was you once, looking for someone
I never found
She paints in a low smoky voice
Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys
And how they stood her up just to let her down

She'd win if you were the prize
Gives in to all of your lies
She falls every time for this

But love is trippy like that
Sometimes you think that you've got it
Nobody's gonna trick you
Outta this one, baby
But love will slip through your hands
You never know how to hold it
Control it you're gripping
It's tripping you up

For all of the girls who feel like they're overdressed
Undersexed, starving for yeses or maybes
Tired of always being ignored

He might see the available chair
Beside me, the invitation is there
But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for

I'd go if you had a ride
I'd smoke if you had a light
I fall every time for this

But love is trippy like that
Sometimes you think that you've got it
Nobody's gonna trick you
Outta this one, baby
But love will slip through your hands
You never know how to hold it
Control it you're gripping
It's tripping you up
