The Wedding Present - Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk lyrics

The heavens were alive with stars She pointed out which one was Mars Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's from 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' She said: "Don't take me home until I'm drunk. Very drunk indeed!" We talked about a second date She said that meeting me was fate And, though I don't believe in that crap, I said: "Yes" We both knew where the night would end But when we kissed, I won't pretend, I still shook with apprehension, I confess And then I said: "I could fall in love with you" But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too" And that little word was the warning sign That little word meant she'd never be mine, as I discovered the next day A text on my phone saying: "I don't know whether I mentioned him last night, but I'm getting back together with my old fiancé I'm sorry, by the way" And, when I think about that night, I wonder if perhaps I might not have done every single thing I could But, deep down, I know I was blind; she just used me to make up her mind But if I had to do it all again, I would And then I said: "I could fall in love with you" But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too" Yeah, I could fall in love with you But as I recall, she said: "I like you too"
