“Post Sex Clarity” by Lola Young is a raw and provocative track that captures the blunt honesty of her songwriting. Built on sultry production with sharp beats and bass-driven grooves, the song unpacks the fleeting moment of realization that follows intimacy—when desire gives way to clarity and emot...
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Smart, funny, you're like honey
I want you to trickle right down my throat
You're a sweet baby, I'm a sad, sad lady
But somehow you always make me feel at home
My heart's heavy, please, don't let me
Please, don't ever let me let you go
'Cause I'd like to lay beside you all night
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, you make me wanna, make me wanna lose myself, myself
[Chorus]
When I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why
'Cause every other man didn't mean a God damn to me
When I finish, it's not the end of you and I
When I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why
'Cause every other man didn't mean a God damn to me
When I finish, it's not the end of you and I
[Verse 2]
Good, given, passionate with it
You make me feel like I could fly away
No, they didn't do it how you just did it
So I want you to stay
And I'm pushin' off your love, then I'm pullin' it right back
Feels so safe, you put me onto the right track
I just came to my senses and I still don't regret it
Not one little bit and I'm not usually like that
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, ooh, you make me wanna, make me wanna lose myself, myself
[Chorus]
When I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why
'Cause every other man didn't mean a God damn to me
When I finish, it's not the end of you and I
When I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why
'Cause every other man didn't mean a God damn to me
When I finish, it's not the end of you and I
When I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why (And I don't know why)
'Cause every other man didn't mean a God damn to me
When I finish, it's not the end of you and I
When I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why (And I just don't know why)
'Cause every other man didn't mean a God damn to me
When I finish, it's not the end of you and I
[Outro]
I'm lyin' in bed, got post-sex clarity
I still love you, and I don't know why
Still love you, and I don't know why
Oh-oh, ooh

This one is about a brief relationship I had with someone. It’s about that situation when you really felt you were interested and beyond in them, and you feel accepted, wanted, seen and understood by them. Again, it’s one of my favourites. That line, ‘I still love you and I don’t know why,’ sums up...
