"Tipsy Woman" lyrics

T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello Lyrics

"Tipsy Woman"

I say, "Stop now"
But it's no use
When you're falling into the juice
And it seems to slip down so fine
Take your hand off that glass
That glass is mine

This bourbon is as smooth as silk
It tastes just like cookies and milk
And there used to be a time when I preferred you
Before your very eyes, your eyes were blurred

Tipsy Woman you had better stop
Before the first sip, down to the last drop
My love would be overflowing at the brim
If you didn't want to drink with him

Tipsy Woman, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy Woman
Tipsy Woman, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy

Take a splash dripping from the still
From a quarter down to a gill
'Til the pleasure of it is all gone
The very measure is not for everyone

I see you begin to sway
There's no music getting in the way
But when someone offers you the grape
You think it can help you, help you escape

Tipsy Woman you had better stop
Before the first sip, down to the last drop
My love would be overflowing at the brim
If you didn't want to drink with him

Tipsy Woman, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy Woman
Tipsy Woman

Last night you came into my dream
Sweet as cookies and cream
And you whispered to me, "Let's go crazy"
And everything around me seemed to go hazy

Tipsy Woman you had better stop
Before the first sip, down to the last drop
My love would be overflowing at the brim
If you didn't want to drink with him

Tipsy Woman, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy Woman
Tipsy Woman, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy
Tipsy Woman, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy Woman
