[Verse 1]
A tall long island's calling out my name
Sealed up patrón won't make me feel the same
Macallan 12 on ice
Always gets me feeling nice
Gonna do this tonight right in front of your friends, yeah
Last time I saw you I froze up, it's true
I'm gonna need some liquid courage just to talk to you
And ask you for a dance
Not looking for romance
Hope that I'm tight
It's about to begin, yeah

[Chorus]
Don't give me just enough to drink
To get me tipsy
Don't give me just enough to drink
To ask you out on the floor
'Til I'm feeling fantastic, elastic, gymnastic
Ready for more
Don't give me just enough to drink
Don't give me just enough to drink

[Verse 2]
Take a few sips and then I start to sweat
Take a few more 'cause I don't see you yet
I know tonight's the night
I'm almost feeling right
Then I look at the front and you're 'bout to come in, yeah
And you're looking so good like you always do
Like they made the lights just for you
Then you turn around
And it looks like you're walking my way
And I hold out my hand
I know you don't understand
How many nights I've been waiting to say, yeah

[Chorus]
Would you like just enough to drink?
To get you tipsy
Would you like just enough to drink?
To get you out on the floor
'Til you're feeling fantastic, elastic, gymnastic
Ready for more
Would you like just enough to drink
Would you like just enough to drink

[Bridge]
First got to get you to smile
Let you know just how beautiful you are to me
Got to get you to stay for a while
Does heaven let angels run free?

[Chorus]
Don't give me just enough to drink
To get me tipsy
Don't give me just enough to drink
To get you out on the floor
'Til I'm feeling fantastic, elastic, gymnastic
Ready for more
Don't give me just enough to drink
Don't give me just enough to drink
