[Chorus]
I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby
I'm known to go a little too fast
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy
But they're the only friends that I have
I know I don't know you
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?

[Verse 1]
Here we go again, another drink I'm caving in
Stupid words keep falling from my mouth
You know that I mean well
My hands were meant for somewhere else
Your eyes are doing naughty butterflies

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, one more drink and I should go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, maybe she might like me though
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I just can't think of what to say
Should I go, should I stay?
Just can't let her slip away

[Chorus]
I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby
I'm known to go a little too fast
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy
But they're the only friends that I have
I know I don't know you
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?

[Verse 2]
I was nearly in, but then came in the pushy friend
Killed my vibe and took my perfect ten away
You know I need you, girl
My heart's not made for someone else
Take me in cause I can barely stand

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, one more drink and I should go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, maybe she might like me though
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I just can't take this any more
Should I stay? Should I go?
It'll just lead back to her door

[Chorus]
I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby
I'm known to go a little too fast
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy
But they're the only friends that I have
I know I don't know you
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?

[Bridge]
I've been a bad, bad boy
Whispering rude things in her ear
Please say she'll break
Please say she'll change
Her mind and bring me back to her place

[Chorus]
I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby
I'm known to go a little too fast
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy
But they're the only friends that I have
I know I don't know you
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?

[Chorus]
I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby
I'm known to go a little too fast
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy
But they're the only friends that I have
I know I don't know you
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?

The Vamps

The Vamps are a British band consisting of members Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball, and Tristan Evans.

The group was formed when solo artist James McVey wanted to start a band. He found Brad Simpson through an Ed Sheeran cover he posted on YouTube and messaged him on Facebook. They found drummer Tristan Evans through Facebook, and bassist Connor Ball through mutual friends.

Their appropriately named debut Meet The Vamps was released in the UK in April 2014. An alternate version was released in the US the following November, with the difference being added features by Demi Lovato and Shawn Mendes on “Somebody To You” and “Oh Cecilia,” respectively. Both of these tracks, in addition to “Can We Dance” and “Last Night,” were released as singles.
