If you really want to know, she comes here a lot
She just loves to hear the music and dance
thirteen is her favorite song, if you play it you might have a chance
Tonight she's only sipping white wine
She's friendly and fun loving most of the time
Chorus
But don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him, then she's ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night
Here's a glass of chablis and some quarters in change
Maybe you can turn her love life around
Then she won't the salt or the lime anymore
To shoot that old memory down
Just remember her heart's on the mend
If you ever come back to see her again
Chorus
Don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him, then she's ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night
