[Pre-Chorus 1] If we get up now we can catch the afternoon Watch the under 15's playing football in the park Let's sit in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day We're doing the best with what we've got
[Chorus] I love you in the morning, when you're still hung-over I love you in the morning, when you're still strung out I love you in the morning
When I'm with you I am calm A pearl in your oyster Head on my chest, a silent smile A private kind of happiness (I love you in the morning)
When I'm with you I am calm (I love you in the morning) A pearl in your oyster (I love you in the morning) Head on my chest, a silent smile (I love you in the morning) A private kind of happiness (I love you in the morning)
When I'm with you I am calm (I love you in the morning) A pearl in your oyster (I love you in the morning) Head on my chest, a silent smile (I love you in the morning) A private kind of happiness (I love you in the morning)
[Outro] I love you in the morning, I love you in the morning I love you in the morning, I love you in the morning I love you in the morning

Between Saturday night and Sunday morning, thinks Okereke, all life–and all emotional points–are here. He addresses this directly on “Sunday.” The drums pound like a headache after “a heavy night, it was a heavy night,” before the hangover moves into a more blissful state. Over a euphoric, post-comedown melody, Okereke sings, “I love you in the morning, when you’re still strung out.”
