## Background

>
>

> "[...] *it has a completely different vibe and musical style, featuring the talented pop singer-songwriter Mia Virik Brubakken (aka MIIA). It builds up to a catchy pop rock chorus, rather than a power ballad refrain like one might expect from the hitmaker* [...]"

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Mørland & *MIIA*]**

*I was out for the evening*

*Never thought I could fall so deep, aha*

I got high on a feeling

The kind of high I could never keep, nah

**[Refrain: MIIA]**

I showed you all of me

Now I feel so stupid

I got nothing more to say

I give it all, give it all

Then you throw it all away

Like it’s all for nothing I got

No more, no more

**[Pre-Chorus: Mørland & *MIIA*]**

You play, play me like it’s all alright

Turn up drunk in the morning light

That’s how you do it

Baby that’s how it’s done

*You talk, talk and all I hear is lies*

*Too damn proud to apologise*

*That’s how you do it*

**[Chorus: Mørland & MIIA]**

Oh baby that’s how

Baby that’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

Oh, that’s how you do it

Baby, that’s how it’s done

**[Verse 2: Mørland & *MIIA*]**

*Are you scared to be lonely?*

*Does it help you to hold me tight?, aha*

Why do you go and waste me

When you know we can be alright? Aha

**[Refrain: Mørland & MIIA]**

I showed you all of me

Now I feel so stupid

I got nothing more to say

I give it all, give it all

Then you throw it all away

Like it’s all for nothing I got

No more, no more

**[Pre-Chorus: MIIA]**

You play, play me like it’s all alright

Turn up drunk in the morning light

That’s how you do it

**[Chorus: Mørland & MIIA]**

Baby that’s how

Baby that’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

That’s how you do it

Baby, that’s how it’s done

**[Bridge: Mørland & MIIA]**

Now you understand

How you lose with a winning hand

Now you understand

How you lose with a winning hand

**[Chorus: Mørland & MIIA]**

That’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

That’s how it’s done

**[Outro: Mørland & MIIA]**

Baby that’s how

Baby that’s how you lose something good

That’s how you lose something good

Oh, that’s how you lose something good

That’s how you do it (That's how you do it)

Oh, baby, that’s how it’s done
