Be my mistake Then turn out the light She bought me those jeans The ones you like I don't want a hug I just wanna sleep The smell of your hair Reminds me of her feet So don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait 'til I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes Save all the jokes you're gonna make While I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake I shouldn't have called 'Cause we shouldn't speak You do make me hard But she makes me weak And don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait 'til I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes Save all the jokes you're gonna make While I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake
