I could tell by the way
You sounded when you called
That I wasn't gonna like what you had to say
I could read between the lines
There was somethin' different this time
Your comin' over tonight 'cause it couldn't wait
Now you're in the drive, I'm a wreck inside
As you walk in through that door

You look like I need a drink right now
You like like you're gonna try to let me down, nice and easy
Think I know why you won't sit down
You're just dancin' around what you came here to do
But you're scared to
And all I can think, the way you're lookin at me
You look like I need a drink

Been a little over a year
Since you were standin' right here
And I was nervous for a whole 'nother reason
Now it's a little bit hard
Bein' this caught off guard
Watchin' you tryin' to not hurt my feelings

You look like I need a drink right now
You like like you're gonna try to let me down, nice and easy
Think I know why you won't sit down
You're just dancin' around what you came here to do
But you're scared to
And all I can think, the way you're lookin' at me
You look like I need a drink

You look like I need a drink

I don't know how this ends
Or where this goes
But the only thing I know is

You look like I need a drink right now
You like like you're gonna try to let me down, nice and easy
Think I know why you won't sit down
You're just dancin' around what you came here to do
But you're scared to
And all I can think, the way you're lookin' at me
You look like I need a drink
You look like I need a drink
Yeah, you look like I need a drink right now, baby
Like I need a drink, yeah
A nice stiff drink
