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

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»
