(Verse 1)
Another Saturday night, playin’ the fool
It’s déjà vu — I’m still losin’ you
So I pull up a stool, order a beer
Maybe two, wishing you were here
But I stare at the glass and I chug it down, down, down
(Chorus)
I get a little too drunk, feelin’ eyes on me
I say, “Come on over, have a seat”
Buy her a drink, we’ll loosen up
Tellin’ her things that ain’t true enough
I’ll ask if she wants to dance
That’s when I take my chance
I’ll lean on in for a kiss…
Then we stumble back to my hotel room
The whole damn time, I’m thinkin’ of you
But we both know — that ain’t why I’m here
(Verse 2)
I only come here to forget your name
Waiting for the alcohol to kill the pain
But your face shows up in every girl
And it tears me apart, wrecks my world
Still I play this game and pour another round
(Chorus)
I get a little too drunk, feelin’ eyes on me
I say, “Come on over, have a seat”
Buy her a drink, we’ll loosen up
Tellin’ her things that ain’t true enough
I’ll ask if she wants to dance
That’s when I’ll take my chance
I’ll lean on in for a kiss…
Then we stumble back to my hotel room
The whole damn time, I’m thinkin’ of you
But we both know — that ain’t why I’m here
(Bridge)
I keep making bets it’s the last I’ll come
But I always lose to this man I’ve become
Shadows of you in a stranger’s face
And this bar feels like my only escape
(Chorus)
I get a little too drunk, feelin’ eyes on me
I say, “Come on over, have a seat”
Buy her a drink, we’ll loosen up
Tellin’ her things that ain’t true enough
I’ll ask if she wants to dance
That’s when I’ll take my chance
I’ll lean on in for a kiss…
Then we stumble back to my hotel room
The whole damn time, I’m thinkin’ of you
But we both know — you’re the reason why I’m here
But we both know — you’re the reason why I’m here
