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?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
