The Wedding Present — Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk lyrics

Lyrics

The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
Lying arm-in-arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly’s
From Breakfast at Tiffany’s
She said «don't take me home until I’m drunk
Very drunk indeed»
We talked about a second date
She said that «meeting you was fate»
And though I don’t believe in that crap, I said «yes»
We both knew where the night would end
But when we kissed I won’t pretend
I still shook with apprehension I confess
And then I said «I could fall in love with you»
As I recall, she said «I like you too»
And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she’d never be mine
As I discovered the next day
Her text on my phone said «I don’t know whether
I mentioned him last night but I’m getting back together
With my old fianc?
I’m sorry by the way»
And when I think about that night
I wonder if perhaps I might
Not have done every single thing I could
But deep down I know I was blind
She just used me to make up her mind
But if I had to do it all again I would
And then I said «I could fall in love with you»
As I recall, she said «I like you too»
«Yeah, I could fall in love with you»
As I recall, she said «I like you too»
