Yeah, I think I'm gonna leave
I just had that one drink
And we've all gotta be up early
Boys, we oughta shut her down
Just take it to the house
Before anybody starts getting crazy

So I started walking across the floor
Before I got to the door

Aw naw, somebody just bought a
Shot of Patron, hang on
I just might have to stay
Aw naw, look at the time y'all
What happened to coats on, long gone…
I should be halfway home but aw naw

Yeah, girl I saw you come in
With all of your girlfriends
Just cuttin' up and shooting Bacardi
Yeah, I got my boys with me
But we're just blowin' off steam
Not lookin' to pick up anybody

So I was gonna walk on by
You turned around and we locked eyes

Aw naw, did you hear that song,
Oh the one that just came on
Come on, DJ, what you trying to do?
Aw naw, it would be so wrong
If we didn't dance one
Show off those jeans you painted on, aw naw, aw naw

No, I didn't mean to be here this long
I tried to leave so it ain't my fault.
No I didn't mean to be holding you
But tell me what was I supposed to do?

Aw naw, somebody just bought a
Shot of that Patron, hang on
We've been here all night long
Aw naw, it would be so wrong
If we didn't dance one more song
Show off those jeans you painted on, aw naw

Yeah, aw naw
Those jeans you painted on, aw naw
