We say that we can be friends, but, hey, let's be honest
There ain't really no such thing as gin and platonic
One is gonna turn into two is gonna turn into
You and me at a quarter to three with four shoes under the bed
Yeah, we know it's headed to
I really shouldn't drink around you

It's a risk; it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You'd think I woulda learned my lesson by now, but I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you

Yeah, I know what's gonna happen if we order another shot
'Cause there ain't any way to muster up the strength that I haven't got
Wine is gonna turn into 'Why not?' and turn into lots of burning the lines and in no time, we're doin' things friends don't do
I really shouldn't drink around you

It's a risk; it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You'd think I woulda learned my lesson by now, but I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you

We say that we can be friends, but, hey, let's be honest
There ain't really no such thing as gin and platonic
I really shouldn't drink around you

It's a risk; it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You'd think I woulda learned my lesson by now, but I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you
No, I really shouldn't drink around you

'Cause one is gonna turn into two is gonna turn into
You and me at a quarter to three with four shoes under the bed
Yeah, we know where it's headed to
Wine is gonna turn into 'Why not?' and turn into lots of burning the lines and in no time, doin' things friends don't do
I really shouldn't drink around you
