I was a little outta my mind Last night when I called you up I'm sorry if I upset you With all that missin' you stuff I was just too far gone and all alone When that phone started callin' your name And I know it's against the rules, girl But tequila makes me do dumb things I was just drunk Dialin' your number Hopin' that you just might wanna come over I might have said a little too much You know I don't think before I talk When I got a good buzz Can't be held responsible for what I was sayin' You know I say a lot of things When I've been drinkin' Yeah and I was drinkin' Can't believe what I said But at least I made you laugh After all this time Since we said goodbye I'm glad I can still do that Girl I was just drunk Dialin' your number Hopin' that you just might wanna come over I might have said a little too much But I don't think before I talk When I got a good buzz Can't be held responsible for what I was sayin' You know I say a lot of things When I've been drinkin' And I can't guarantee That there won't be Another night When I be drunk Dialin' your number Hopin' that you just might wanna come over I might have said a little too much But I don't think before I talk When I got a good buzz Can't be held responsible for what I be sayin' You know I say a lot of things When I've been drinkin' Yeah I was drinkin'
