It's a little after midnight There's a couple in the corner And I wonder what he said because she's crying And I guess they won't remember When they wake up in the morning With the headache from the whiskey and the wine I know that I have said things I regret when I am sober 'Cause we always hurt the ones we love the most I messed up and I know it if I hurt you girl I'm sorry But it's good to see the girl I used to know We can dance but I can't dance Maybe we can stick to holding hands Or should we raise a glass And forget the past? If we keep on drinking we're gon' fall back in love So fill it up, fill it up We must not be thinking 'cause we can't get enough So fill it up, fill it up Bartender, can you pour some love? Bartender, can you pour some love? We can talk about a future, we don't wanna reminisce Because we both know it was me who got it wrong But f*ck it's good to see you You look awesome and I miss you Baby listen now, they're playing our song We can dance but I can't dance Maybe we can stick to holding hands And let's raise a glass And forget the past If we keep on drinking we're gon' fall back in love So fill it up, fill it up We must not be thinking 'cause we can't get enough So fill it up, fill it up Bartender, can you pour some love? Bartender, can you pour some love? And it's closing time, back to yours or mine? After all this time, you still blow my mind And it's closing time, back to yours or mine? After all this time, after all this time If we keep on drinking we're gon' fall back in love So fill it up, fill it up We must not be thinking 'cause we can't get enough So fill it up, fill it up Bartender, can you pour some love? Bartender, can you pour some love?
