The performance started out with her singing the verse to a plucky guitar, and swiftly crooning the groovy chorus and riffing away without missing a beat. 

What to know about ''Dose'' by Teddy Swims

Released off of his 2022 album Sleep is Exhausting, the lyrics to ''Dose'' tell the story of a tumultuous romance. 

"When it was first written, I knew immediately it was one of those songs that will never leave your head. There's nothing in the world like quality songwriting where less is more,'' Swims told Broadway World of the track.

''Dose'' by Teddy Swims lyrics

Oh, babe
Like a cold, cold hand on the stove, babe
My heart and my mind on a stoke, babe
Tripped and fell on down the stairs
Don't know if I'll find them things again
Slid in my life like a thief in the night
And you stole my common sense
The sun will never shine and the wolves will never cry
'Til I'm holdin' you again

Love how you kiss every tattoo on my face
Yeah, it's the time and place
To do what the doctor said a dose of you a day
By morning what I need
The perks of being a fiend
Is that I get to take a dose of you a day

Ayy
(Come on, just one more)
Ayy
(Come on, just one more)

Each night, I stay up like a high note
Thinking 'bout the way you say my name
When's the last time I slept?
I can't get a blink, I'm stressed out
Really need to this bed rock
Baby, you know my sweet spot

Love how you kiss every tattoo on my face
Yeah, it's the time and place
To do what the doctor said, a dose of you a day
By morning what I need
The perks of being a fiend
Is that I get to take a dose of you a day

Ayy
(Come on, just one more)
Ayy
(Come on, just one more)

Slid in my life like a thief in the night
And you stole my common sense
The sun will never shine and the wolves will never cry
'Til I'm holdin' you again

Love how you kiss every tattoo on my face
Yeah, it's the time and place
To do what the doctor said, a dose of you a day
By morning what I need
The perks of being a fiend
Is that I get to take a dose of you a day

Ayy
A dose of you a day
Ayy
A dose of you a day
