The Weeknd – Can't Feel My Face Lyrics

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And I know she'll be the death of me

At least we'll both be numb

And she'll always get the best of me

The worst is yet to come

But at least we'll both be beautiful

And stay forever young

This I know, uh

This I know

[Pre-Chorus]

She told me, "Don't worry

About it"

She told me, "Don't worry

No more"

We both know we can't go

Without it

She told me, "You'll never

Be alo-oh-oh-ooh"

[Chorus]

I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it

But I love it, oh

I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it

But I love it, oh

[Verse 2]

And I know she'll be the death of me

At least we'll both be numb

And she'll always get the best of me

The worst is yet to come

All the misery was necessary

When we're deep in love

This I know (Girl)

Girl, I know, uh

[Pre-Chorus]

She told me, "Don't worry

About it"

She told me, "Don't worry

No more"

We both know we can't go

Without it

She told me, "You'll never

Be alo-oh-oh-ooh"

[Chorus]

I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it

But I love it, oh

I can't feel my face when I'm with

You (I can't feel my face)

But I love it (But I love it)

But I love it (I can't feel my face), oh

I can't feel my face when I'm with you (When I'm with you)

But I love it (But I love it, yeah)

But I love it (But I love it), oh

(I can't feel my face) I can't feel my face when I'm with (When I'm with you) you

But I love it (But I love it)

But I love it (Girl, I love it), oh

[Bridge]

Oh-oh

Ooh-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]

She told me, "Don't worry

About it"

She told me, "Don't worry

No more"

We both know we can't go (Can't go)

Without it

She told me, "You'll never

Be alo-oh-oh—

Ooh"

[Chorus]

I can't feel my face when I'm with you (I can't feel my face, girl)

But I love it (But I love it, yeah)

But I love it (Oh, I love it, yeah) oh

I can't feel my face when I'm with

You (Said, I can't feel my face)

But I love it (But I love it)

But I love it (Girl, I love it), oh

(I can't feel my face) I can't feel my face when I'm with

(When I'm with you) you

But I love it (Know I love it, girl)

But I love it (Don't you think I do?), oh

(I can't feel my face) I can't feel my face when I'm with

(When I'm with you) you (I can't feel my face, girl)

But I love it (When I'm with you, baby)

But I love it (Said, when I'm with you, baby), oh

I can't feel my fa—

The narrator acknowledges that this relationship (or substance) will "be the death of me," yet he craves the numbness it provides. The phrase "I can't feel my face" is a literal physical reaction to the drug, cleverly disguised as an overwhelming romantic intoxication.
