I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby I'm known to go a little too fast Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy But they're the only friends that I have I know I don't know you But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance? Here we go again, another drink I'm caving in Stupid words keep falling from my mouth You know that I mean well My hands were meant for somewhere else Your eyes are doing naughty butterflies Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though Oh, oh, I just can't think of what to say Should I go, should I stay? Just can't let her slip away I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby I'm known to go a little too fast Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy But they're the only friends that I have I know I don't know you But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance? I was nearly in, but then came the pushy friend Killed the vibe and took my perfect ten, away You know I need you, girl My heart's not made for someone else So save me here 'cause I can barely stand Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though Oh, oh, I can't take this any more Should I stay? Should I go? It just can lead back to her door I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby I'm known to go a little too fast Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy But they're the only friends that I have I know I don't know you But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance? I've been a bad, bad boy Whispering rude things in her ear Please say she'll break Please say she'll change Her mind and bring me back to her place I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby I'm known to go a little too fast (a little too fast) Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy But they're the only friends that I have I know I don't know you But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
