"Sober Up" lyrics

We've been drunk all night
And I've been saying way too much
So if you're gonna shoot me down
Just do it 'fore I sober up
'Cause the lights are turning on
And baby, now it's only us
So if you're gonna turn back now
Just do it 'fore I sober up

I was fine
Sipping whiskey by myself Friday night
Till I saw you standing there
Hair down, no gown, singing loud to James Brown
Off-key but you didn't seem to mind

So I stepped
In your direction with two shots of Jack and Jim
Told you pick your poison
But you took both, two more, turned into Cuervo
We were getting lost and losing track of time

Now the crowd is disappearing
But our tab still isn't closed
So I'm wondering when you're leaving
Will you leave me all alone?

We've been drunk all night
And I've been saying way too much
So if you're gonna shoot me down
Just do it 'fore I sober up
'Cause the lights are turning on
And baby, now it's only us
So if you're gonna turn back now
Just do it 'fore I sober up

Please don't mess me up
Till I sober up

Yeah I tend to handle rejection with handles
I put all my problems on ice
Take the parts I don't speak of and mix with Tequila
In case you say everything twice, yeah

I could use a little holy water on me
'Cause Lord knows that I've been stone cold drinking
But then I see you on a bar stool, lonely
And that's when I let it sink in

Now the crowd is disappearing
But our tab still isn't closed
So I'm wondering when you're leaving
Will you leave me all alone?

We've been drunk all night
And I've been saying way too much
So if you're gonna shoot me down
Just do it 'fore I sober up
'Cause the lights are turning on
And baby, now it's only us
So if you're gonna turn back now
Just do it 'fore I sober up

Please don't mess me up
Till I sober up
Please don't mess me up
Till I sober up
