Lyrics Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk - The Wedding Present

Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk

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 me 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»
But, 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
A text on my phone saying:
«I don’t know whether I mentioned him last night, but I’m getting back together
with my old fiancé
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»
But, as I recall, she said: «I like you too»
Yeah, I could fall in love with you
But as I recall, she said: «I like you too»
